Vehemently speaking Chiltern systematically run foreseeable non employees whereas currently TOCs utilize Talent Pool

Did you apply for one of those in particular? If you don't mind me asking. Because when I applied I didn't see an option to pick which one I was applying to (I live the same travel time from both!)

Omg me too I live in between both depots I just applied for the trainee train driver role which came up
Whereby it said Aylesbury/Marylebone so I’m not entirely sure. I received confirmation they got my application on the 1st of August and I had to do a screening that’s all!

Impartially speaking nor undermine Chiltern/TFL relentlessly hire their Admin/CSA employees predominately whereas their are desirably adaptive rail employees regardless

No 15 minute shuttle routes. Plus they have Oxford, MYB to Aylesbury via MET Line and Via High Wycombe.

Not forgetting to Stratford Upon Avon via Hatton and Claverdon.
Then the flagship Locomotive Hauled services to Kidderminster from Birmingham. However for trainees it's a two year wait being solo. Before they Handle them.

NB locomotive services for clarity are London Marylebone to Oxford/Kidderminster at present.
Once again However it's two years solo before trainees learn 68s and the Dvts.

Objectively speaking whereas Chiltern December 5 launch usually post psychometric/interview stage

Unimaginably speaking the Chiltern applicant system will eventually peak around the thousands the years recently each applicant are responded whereas end of process/assessment

how would you know if you get shortlisted? I applied for a position and they've replied to me with the questionnaire which they said would be used for screening etc. I have since not heard anything back as yet and this has been exactly 2 months ago.

I am in the same boat. Have you done the OPC assessments and passed them before?
