So did they not do the written communication test at all?
If that's the one where you look at some pictures and narrate what is happening in the pictures, then no you don't do that one.

When it was advertised this time round, it was £18992
Drivers have had a pay rise since then so I was wondering if that has also reflected in the starting wage.
OK thanks

I managed to answer everything. Just hoping I said the right things.
How about you?
Wouldn't say it was my best performance. I've a 50/50 chance it's good news. Lol

Got the good news about a start in January today (pending medical) so decided to stop being ‘read only’ and actually join the forum.
Congrats to the others getting the good news today and commiserations to those not so lucky. Long time to wait either way and well done for making it through to the chosen few

Anyone know if the pay still doubles after the 6 month training period or has that changed when they had the pay negotiations?
For those wanting a peek into the future, found a 360 virtual tour of the new trains:

Cheers mate but I left last year! You'll enjoy it, some good people there.
I believe the new pay award was gradual over two years meaning it starts on just under 20k, that rises to approx 43k after training then rises to 45k in Oct next year
when all drivers receive the final part of the two year pay deal. On top of these figures part of the new deal is to include two years of cost of living wages so not sure how that will affect the final figure.
