Thanks, had this confirmed earlier by email. Hope to catch up with some of you in person in York next week.

Hi, first time poster, wanted to say hello, I also passed the recent interview but already had enhanced passes. Hope you did ok if you had your psychometrics This week And that things are still moving on.

I passed the advanced test and now just awaiting my medical, are you in the same boat? Which location have you chosen to work from? Have you been given a course date?

Many congratulations, bet you were chuffed to be told you had passed it! I had my medical earlier in the week so hopefully you’ll get a date soon. I’m in for Doncaster, are you Leeds? No official dates yet no.

Congrats.

I did my group burden last week and also have passed, now waiting a medical and a start date.

On the email they mentioned about a potential course in November!

I have applied for King Cross, where has everyone else put in for?

Well done, hopefully you’ll get a medical date soon, they did say they had more to get done in a few weeks time, especially if there is a mention of November course date!

I have already passed to the enhanced standard and I am also in for Doncaster. I have a medical booked in for the 16th September so things are definitely moving in the right direction.

Fingers crossed, found it slightly odd with having to wear a mask and keep distance etc. It won’t let me PM as I’m now and not posted enough!

Hello all, first time poster, long time reader. I passed the telephone interview for this role back in April, received the 'good news' email and was asked to provide exam certificates.
Despite best efforts, no joy (I left school in 87) and emailed LNER three times advising them and asking for further advice... No response . My question is, has anyone who's currently progressing done so without being able to provide proof of exam passes? I'm currently a depot driver and have passed relevant psychometric tests. Thanks peeps & all the best

Hi,
I don't recall being asked for certificates at all?!
I think a few ppl are still waiting too, it seems they are doing a chunk of ppl at a time to keep it at a managable level I presume.
When I had my interview they said they had a good few courses lined up so I'm sure they will be in contact with you soon!

Thanks for replying. The email that was sent advising of the phone interview pass specifically requested proof of passes in English and Maths...I'm thinking they're probably swamped with people who've passed AND provided proof so they don't need to progress mine if I can't meet their criteria. But, ya never know so fingers crossed. Thanks again

For those who have been offered the latest round of interviews, just wondering if you've all already passed the psychometrics to some level. I have read that some have had to re take the group bourdon test as it needed an enhanced pass, but no one seems to have had to do everything.

I received an email this afternoon saying I have a interview on the 22nd. Previously passed the telephone interview but I haven’t done the psychometric tests yet.
Applied for Leeds and Doncaster.

Well done to all who have secured interviews in the coming weeks! I had my Teams Interview back in early August, I found it a bit more formal than the telephone interview, which you would expect. However no real surprises and a read of some posts on here in relation to possible Qs will keep you on the right track.

Good luck!

Thsoe who are waiting since their telephone interview and sent in their GCSE certificates, don't forget to check your junk email folder as I have recieved 2 emails inviting me to a Microsoft teams interview in 2 weeks time. These emails do not appear on your LNER application account progress updates as it does not come from "People rescourcing team" but from "Recruitment 1" email address which is the address for sending your GCSE certificates.

I've not had anything further since the "We've not forgot you" email, so don't think you've deleted it, you probably haven't.
