Top link Colchester drivers also sign Ipswich to Peterborough.

Everyone also signs Colchester - Colchester Town - Walton-on-the-Naze.

Hopefully they wont keep us waiting very long.

Best of luck to everyone. :)

My preferred & closest depot is Southend Victoria. I was told by someone a while back that they only sign Southend & Braintree services. Is this correct?

Got my email confirming my application more or less immediately, are you sure it's not gone to spam/junk or something?

Yeah definitely not in spam/junk. Weird.

When I try to apply again, it sais I have already applied. I am going to try again with a different email address.

Applied this morning and had my assessment through straight after. How does one find out the score that some of you have?


See this post from earlier in the thread :)

Check your e-mail, log in with the details provided. Once you're logged in, you'll see your application listed, with an option to download a PDF summary. It is on that PDF where you'll see an application score.

I applied on Sunday, completed the assessment on Monday, still have not received my score (as I have seen a few people have done) however just received the invitation to attend the assessment centre.

My question is that I have already completed and passed the assessment with MTR Crossrail back in march 2016 so I'm not sure if I need to re do these or if they can use my results from the last assessment?

Secondly I still did try to book the slot for the assessment but when I open the link it comes up saying no assessments available.. has anyone else had this problem?

Best to call up recruitment or email them (address is in the email), The lady is quite responsive, you won't have to sit them again.

Reapplied with a different email address and i got a response this time.

Application score of 12. Anyone know how this is calculated or the criteria that the application is marked against?

Sent her an email and got this quick response for anyone else in the same position as me.

Thank you for letting me know. I have checked the RACF database I can confirm you have passed all assessments.

We will be in contact with you again soon in regards to a Driver Manager interview.

Kind regards

Amy

That's a good problem to have :o
Congrats so far, please let us know what happens with the assessments youve already passed as i'm in the same boat as you.

I have to say GA do things at an amazing pace!

Been sent an email about completing the online assessment. (although not sure about how people have been given a score on their app as i haven't been given one) Likewise completed previous assessments with another TOC does this mean i should complete the online assessment which of course is fine with me or should i email Greater Anglia and enquire.

I'm not sure but as you scored higher than me, you should be getting through to online assessment.

Anyone surprised how quick this process is and they've not waited for the closing date (unless they pulled it)?

Hi guys, I asked earlier in the thread but it didn't get a reply. How important is it to attach a CV to the application? I have completed the application but not submitted it yet. On the FAQ section in the Careers part of the website one question reads:

Q Can I attach a CV with my application?
A Yes you can but you will also have to complete a standard online application form.

This seems to suggest that a CV is optional.

Apologies if this seems like a stupid question

I've just emailed as I have a stage 1 pass with c2c from October 2015.

She confirmed I don't need to take the stage 1 tests. They'll be in touch about stage 2 tests shortly.


Just slightly excited now :D

What are the stage 1 tests? The online test (sjt) or the written/computer tests? (tea occ etc.)

I attached my CV to my application but always wondered if this was a must. My CV is slightly out of date but i generally still use it on the off chance i might get a few more brownie points;) I suppose it comes down to choice.

Been invited to Stratford with a choice of either the 31st Jan or 1st Feb for the assessment centre. So pleased my application didn't get put on hold like last year. Amazed at how fast this whole process seems to be moving. The revision and preparation starts now!

Am I correct in saying that you do not actually get a "score" once you have completed the online SJT? It just shows as having been completed?
