100 drivers needed at various depots, one guy was for the Workington one today, Leeds and Wigan are others and liverpool as well I believe , it's ongoing all year, but my theory is they will create a huge talent pool as well.... Bit of a wait yet even if it's a yes for the mmi

These might not all be for Manchester though.
When they start the process they can have no idea how many people will pass.
So I assume if more people pass than there are training places available they will fill places based on assessement scores (highest 1st etc..) and the rest might just sit in the pool.
The assessments only show that we meet the minimum requirements. What other criteria or selection methods are imposed by their HR department is anyone's guess.

I'm just guessing though. For all I know it might be done alphabetically.

March ain't far off
If we're lucky
