Southeastern Trainee Driver - Victoria

[Huckleberry]

Hi all. May hopefully be of use to someone here, although it does stipulate that you need to live within 5 miles of Victoria station.

Trainee Driver - Victoria

 

[CaseyJones]

I don't meet the criteria of living within 5 miles but might apply anyway. Is the rule that rigid? Some TOCs have a one hour rule some 5 miles, not too sure how strict they are?

Is the rule that rigid?

Why wouldn't it be?

Can you not 'borrow' a friend or relative's address which fits the requirement?

 

[godfreycomplex]

5 miles of Victoria station? Who do they expect to apply; Roman Abramovich?
Having said that as a bored lever puller I am a tad curious
Could a kind soul furnish us with the routes and traction please?

I'd still apply even if you don't live within a 5 mile radius! I live in Brighton but this year I applied for a Train Manager position with Chiltern up in Birmingham and the same position with Cross Country in Bournemouth - I was invited to assessments for both roles! But yeah to stay on the safe side I'd borrow an address??????

But most importantly, did you get either of the jobs and have to relocate?

 

[CaseyJones]

Applied....You've got to be in it to win it

 

[bagazon]

Sent an application as well ..., although in a phone call HR told me that the rule is very strict ...

Thanks for the heads up on the vacancy. Does anybody have further information on the different stages involved with the application process with South Eastern?

All assessments and MMI on the same day? Ive completed the folowing assessments with another TOC with enhanced scoring;

The Trainability for Rules and Procedures Test Part 1 and 2
The Group Bourdon Concentration Test
The Driver Fault Finding Test (DFFT)
The Test of Everyday Attention for Occupational Assessment (TEA-Occ)
The WAFV vigilance test
The ATAVT Perception Test
The 2Hand Co-ordination Test
Multi Modal Interview

Does that cover all the assessments with Southeastern or do you know if they have any others I may have to sit?

Thanks for helping!

As bad as my memory is, yes!
Did my testing in Feb 2015 at Southeastern in Tonbridge. Passed all tests and sat mmi late afternoon.
If you apply and are successful in the paper sift then in theory you should be able to go straight in at the DMI stage.

Hi all,

I just noticed on the application that the reference for this position is 'For Future Opportunities'.. was just wondering if that means successful applicants are likely to be placed in a talent pool?

 

[bagazon]

Anyone any news?

 

[Lrd]

Got turned down for this as I don't live within or around Victoria depot. I live 8 miles away in a straight line according to Google Maps.
