When are they going to come out and tell us that the rest of us were unsuccessful in our applications ?
They're not,only those successful in getting through the sift were being advised.

Well done to all who have progressed to interviews, assessments and even been offered positions so far.
However skimming through the posts I haven't seen anyone who has applied for "North" being Aberdeen, Perth, Inverness ect having heard back.
Can anyone confirm/clarify on this or has anyone heard anything re these?
Cheers in advance
Can I still apply for a job?
Closing date was 30th September. Unlikely to be recruiting for drivers for a while now.

I am external candidate, with no previous rail or application history.
23/09/2015 applied for positions in North (Inverness, Perth or Stirling) and East (Edinburgh or Bathgate) depots.
10/11/2015 received an email and invited to the 1st stage assessment.
24/11/2015 sat the 1st stage assessment and received an email that afternoon advising I had been successful and I would be contacted shortly to advise of the date and details of my DTM interview (on the day in question it was believed that the timescale would be 2-3 weeks).
I am currently trying to study for the interview and following the guidance of the recruitment team I have not made any attempt to contact DTM's or pester staff at depots. In addition to trying to prepare example and scenario based answers I am trying to source information about home depots, however I am finding it a little difficult as on 24/11/2015 the recruitment team couldn't advise which depot I would be interviewing for...
I was wondering if anyone from my assessment day, or any other recent assessment day had heard anything?
Thanks.
Has anyone that has had their managers interview over the last 2 weeks heard anything back yet?
it seems that the rumors are indeed true...that due to the failure by abellio and company council to agree a deal to include sunday as part of the working week...75% of the new drivers will not be needed and the company will continue as is untill 2018 at least. The 25% will be taken on to cover natural wastage .
Reasearch wise, I'd advise you visit each location you've applied for - if only to be able to say you have done so. I would however, try to learn as much as possible about one location; traction, routes, get into the drivers bothy and have a look at what you see that you can talk about if asked. If asked in the interview what research you've done, you can tell them that altough you visited all locations, you researched. ........... in more detail. Avoid trying to learn too much about several locations, you'll go round the bend.
I had my managers interview on the 12th of November and still haven't heard anything back.
Possibly or fist week in February.
Got a phone call from recruitment today informing me I passed my DM interview and will be going forward to the computer based testing and MMI in mid january. Anybody got any tips for the MMI.
Looks like the reserve pool for me
Looks like the reserve pool for me
Hey, I 2 am in the reserve pool. I know of 2 people who have got on to the training from reserve. I was told at my MMI that I had some of the highest scores seen at the assessment centre so was slightly disappointed, however happy to be on the reserve for now and not being told a straight no. I was also told by someone already training that the recruitment was slashed by 33% so instead of 100 odd drivers they are only taking on 38! Anyone know anything more about this?
Congrats to the people who have medicals with a view of starting,
