LNER Trainee Driver Jobs (18/03/2020)

[Irish Rail]

Are LNER going to be using the OPC for the next lot of testing?

What is OPC?

 

[CreamNCookies]

Thanks mate appreciated

Also if you dont know what exam board your school used, drop the school an email. They'll help. I did this afternoon and they got back to me in minutes.

 

[Bubba]

Well done to those who are progressing and commiserations to those who are going no further.

I am yet to hear either way. Out of interest of those who have heard, how early in the interview stage was your interview? i.e. the first week?

What is OPC?

https://www.theopc.co.uk/ They run the vast majority of industry-standard psychometric testing in the UK.

In other news, I've heard nothing but I think I probably cocked up the first half of my interview but we shall see!

My interview was one of the very first ones, I think I took the 2nd earliest time slot available in the first week. I’m still waiting to hear back. So maybe they aren’t doing it based on that but rather depot? Or maybe i haven’t made it and they just haven’t put me out of my misery yet

 

[Coopes1710]

I had my interview on the 2nd day and I have applied for Doncaster and Leeds depot.

LNER.

My interview was on the first Monday, and I stated Doncaster was my preference.

Out of curiosity, when did the first week of interviews start? Cheers

Week commencing 30th March.

Week commencing 30th March.

Mine was 9th April, so I’m assuming next week I’ll hear either way.

 

[JamieA42]

Mine was on the 30th March.
Hopefully I'll hear this week either way

[Cyclist]

For those getting replies, has the status of your application updated on the LNER website?

 

[iwasyoungonce]

LNER.

My interview was on the first Monday, and I stated Doncaster was my preference.

First Monday as in 30th March ? hopefully they might be working through them chronologically then.

 

[PaulN]

Just received a rejection email now, never mind. Thought my phone interview went well but did only last about 15 minutes or so. At least I applied, you only live once after all!

sorry to hear that Pal-don't let it stop you trying

 

[Comfy]

Last time I looked the exam board I needed were only issuing results to those who passed their gcse's 2001 onwards due to covid. I'm assuming pre 2001 are stored differently and they can't access them at the moment.

Not the case as my interview was first Monday and I've heard nothing either way.

 

[DA1]

Mine was also on the first Monday and I haven’t heard anything either although it does seem most people who have a response are for the northern depots.

 

[The Railroader]

Out of interest, have any of those with OPC passes from VTEC or anywhere else heard back yet?

I haven’t. I’ve passed to enhanced standard as well.

 

[bruebunny]

Has anyone heard for Euston yet? I've just spent the day staring at my phone xD

Think you're in the wrong thread.

 

[Comfy]

Those who have heard back to say they are moving to the next stage, have they gave any timescale of when you need to send your certificates in by or when/what the next stage will be?

 

[JamieA42]

Mine was for Newcastle depot. and on the 30th March.
Heard nothing

Theres to hoping no news is good news

 

[JamieA42]

Has anyone who's applied for Newcastle heard back yet?

 

[bruebunny]

Think you're in the wrong thread.

Haha, I'm waiting on a few applications and all these are blending into one.
I did my lner interview on the first monday but haven't heard anything yet.

Has anyone heard back regarding KX?

 

[dan4291]

Has anyone who's applied for Newcastle heard back yet?
