Good evening all. Is it standard procedure to receive the email asking for Name NI etc? Won’t get my hopes up. Does this mean we may be in line for a call ??
Yep standard procedure, I was asked the same when I applied for Chiltern almost 2 years ago.

Just received an email saying its going to take another 2 weeks- bit weird it only says South East London line since I applied to both North and South East... maybe they've withdrawn/rejected my Willesden depot application as its 45 minutes travel time compared to 10 minutes to New cross gate

Do they ask everyone applying to do that then?

And when did you get your response email once sending off the additional questions they asked? (The NI number and depot etc.)

A few people I know of got asked to send the same information in along with a few others in this thread

wasn't really a response to the information I provided, seems like its just a general update- said it will take 2 week

Oh got you.

Yeah I received that email as well about providing that info. I applied for both depots also but only put the willesden one as it's the closest.

I thought you meant you received another email after that. Sorry.

Would also be interested to know how the jump from 30k to 65k is staggered if anybody knows?
There used to be a 'first year' salary but in last years pay deal that was removed. So you would go from 30k to 65k as soon as qualified.

Does anyone know if Sunday's are part of working week or outside?
they are part of
They are in but limited to 26 Sundays a year.

They've just sent out new emails asking for the same details again, this time with additional note:

If you are receiving this email twice it is because you applied to both depots. You can only be put forward for one.

Just curious if you guys replied directly to the email that was sent out regarding NI number and other details? I replied to the email but haven’t received any confirmation as of yet, is this normal?

My original request for additional info which was due by 7/3/21, I did get an email back confirming they received it.

But this time round. I've sent my response, but haven't received a reply back to confirm.

Hopefully all is good!

Was beginning to give up on thinking I'll hear back but got an email asking for the additional information today. Hopefully we won't be waiting too long to hear back if they are hoping to start training in May and June.

No, I haven’t heard anything, I’m still curious as I never got a reply when I sent off my NI number & location info. They said I would receive an email of confirmation which I have not received.
