Any West Midlands Trains drivers on here? What is it like to work for Abellio and are they recruiting again soon?
Does anybody know when training is likely to be starting up again? I was due to start in June, however not sure what the delay is like now. I’ve had my medical and all ready to go!
They're recruiting for 2021 now for Birmingham, Worcester, and Bletchley.
I'm a WMT trainee driver from the 2019 intake. If you have any questions, just message me, and I'll try and answer them as best I can.

Well I'm sure it has evolved since I did it 2 years ago. Looks like there's a video interview, which I didn't have. There's still the psychometrics to do of course, likely to an enhanced standard. You can prep with reaction games like Tetris or Bop-It. I used a book & DVD from How2Become - https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=how2become+train+driver&sprefix=how2become+train+&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_17Hi, I am interested in the 2021 intake for WMT. I know the intake process has changes vastly since the psychometric days. Is there anything you can advise for the initial application process.
Thanks
I'm led to believe starting wage is approx 29k. Then once rules and regs completed it rises to 42k ish then 57k once driving hours completed. Hopefully I'm not far out.isn’t it something like £26k then after so long a bump up to into the £40’s then full salary once all signed off etc
