I can safely say that this year will be very busy for FCC as they have no less then 5 classes to get though and considering how long training does take, that's a lot of work.

Still, good luck to the new trainees and no doubt I will see some of you eventually who will be based at the GN depots!

hi just out of curiosity, did you apply for anywhere specific or just for all depots?

I originally applied for the blackfriars position on the FCC website.

 

[francisoldfield]

fair enough, i only wondered because i applied for Brighton. Im trying to see if theres a pattern to who has done assesments and who are still waiting!!

Congratulations!!

Well done, just make sure you take in everything what your minder driver tells you when you do get out and about, they have the experience so they know what they're talking about.

Thanks westcoaster, Bedford will be my depot, just need to source some cheap temporary accommodation for now. I am sure I will have lots of questions in time lol

congratulations you lucky person!! I spoke to FCC today and they said for all those still awaiting shortlisting they "will hear back from managers by the end of the week". Don't know what that means??!

They did say there would be another training course starting next month.

Hi did you hear anything today from FCC

 

[francisoldfield]

Nooooo, I wasn't expecting to to be honest. I am having absolutely no luck with rail jobs at the moment. I'm being kept waiting for ages with every job I have applied to.

Hi keep your chin up I'm still awaiting on Cambridge what areas you looking to work in

 

[francisoldfield]

well I have two trainee drive applications at the moment: Brighton with FCC and Barnham with Southern. I have two conductor applications as well, again one with Southern at Barnham and one with FGW at Fratton.

so would you be prepared to work in a different area and then travel back home or you looking to stay in your own area.Would you travel to London

 

[francisoldfield]

i doubt i would travel to London. Too far away and too expensive. I would prefer to stay along the south coast!

[francisoldfield]

[Donachie]
