Hello, don’t know about feedback.
The ‘feedback’ as the interview went along was good I thought.

Pointless trying to second guess. Just must not have ticked the boxes. At least you haven’t had the rejection e-mail after the interview.
Good luck.
Sorry to hear. You should be able to get interview feedback if you contact them. I strongly advise you ask for it as it will inevitably help for future applications/interviews.

Same here, thought it went well, heard comments like ‘brilliant answer’ ‘good experience’ ‘that’s great’.
Requested feedback but could take 6-8 weeks I believe.
Just to reiterate good luck to all going forward.

My brother has been confirmed through to psychometric assessments in the next few weeks. They’re taking 45 through, anyone else?
48 to testing/DMI phase, but only 12 final positions.

Another interview after psychometrics? As that felt like a DMI to me... very strange
Yeah it was explained to us on the Zoom interview, Testing, MMI, Medical and Ref check.

the MMI is part of the psychometrics I thought? So therefore it’s not a DMI?

I'm through also, sure I remember there being 30 jobs in total , there is one more interview in the process.
Yeah sorry thats what i meant, DMI at the end after the testing/MMI
I was told 12 for sure, because I remember thinking God! only 12 of 48 will get it. I think its 30 drivers in total, the rest will be made up of qualified drivers who start early next year I'd imagine

I think they could possibly put 12 on a course who score the highest and then others who pass the psychs in a talent pool for more courses that come up while ECT get set up? I'm not sure, I did hear 12 also though when asking about how many ECT are looking to recruit. I have also passed through to the psycs, I must admit I am very nervous. I've been on the railway about 4 years now and this is the most nervous I have ever been putting in for a role.
I found this Thread helpful though with what to expect on the day, The second Post by Driver2B.

Trainee train driver assessment day
Hi there Not to sure if I’m posting for on the correct forum. I’m currently revising for a trainee train job, and have an assessment day booked in. Can anyone help me with what I will be walking into? What tests they do mainly? I have been revising tests but just feel some more info...

Those who go to DMI will be assessed against the criteria but should have a very good chance of getting a job.
Out of interest, anyone know if they'll be looking for an enhanced pass like TPE or a base pass mark? And have the T&Cs been released yet or the wage structure?

I've still not heard either way yet, but will wait and see. Just out of interest when are people doing the psychometric tests?
Not had any more info since the call to say we got through. I was told initially around the 2-3rd week of July but don't know if that will change. If they are aiming for a Sept 1st start, most people will need a least a months notice though so I'm guessing its either going to be soon, or the start date pushed back

Hello Guys,
First of all good look to all those who have applied and tests coming up. This could be a great opportunity for a driver with East Coast Trains and the furure.
I know this forum is for the trainee positions but i am wondering if anyone is aware on the process for the qualified positions. I believe they advertised the role on 2 occasions. I have a work colleague whos applied but no news for 3 months. Anyone who has or knows anyone who can provide advice or an update would be appreciated.
Many thanks and good luck
