Ah, same one as me then! I was certain they said medical within two weeks if all plans go well. I assume that for whatever reason they cannot fulfil the medicals or the contracts quite yet... as is often the case in rail, and that we will probably get news as soon as contracts are sorted. Everythings in a bit of a mess rn with GBR. Hopefully won't be too long now.
Hopefully all being well we will be working together then! Just gotta refill the patience meter hahaha
Hopefully! the forum has a direct messaging feature if you are happy with that.
Starting to get nervous about my situation too, best of luck to you both.
Don’t worry. I’m sure GWR are just hanging back for contract reasons or funding reasons. It won’t be anything to do with your performance at the assessment.
Yeah more than happy to do that.
Best of luck to you also but as AirFrance said its highly likely that its something out of everyone's control. From my point of view everyone at the assessment did fantastic.
I had an update 2/3 weeks ago to say that they are still considering me, other than that nothing. I imagine they are yet to finalise the apprenticeship budget for this year or something along those lines.
I would imagine spaces for the theory course bit are combined yeah, there will be a proportion that they have space for in Maidenhead and a proportion at south west so I imagine they will hire a certain amount for each rather than the best across both. They won’t be able to have the entire team at Maidenhead for example as there would be too many staff in one station.
13th of may. They said final communication would be within the month, however they did previously say communication would be within 2 weeks and took 5 so I’m not holding them to it…
So it means I will get in if there is a space in this set for whatever reason but I will also potentially get into another position in the Thames valley.
Indeed. A shame you didn’t get in this time but keep trying! Best of luck in any of your future applications.
