I have sent a couple of emails as I have a current GTR Assessment Centre pass but I haven’t heard anything back either.

It probably is coming close to time for their Annual refreshments campaign of which an email, often gets sent to ask candidates to re-apply.
Enhanced. DFFT is required.

As above enhanced, I already had my standard one, then they allowed me to do the DFFT only for my application.

I have passed DFFT enhanced with a TOC and have a national pass overall (I got enhanced on all paper tests bar one, which I got national pass) will this be ok for GA or do they need Enhanced for all the tests?

I applied in summer 2025 after previously passing the assessment centre, Cambridge depot, however the applications were all halted. Have they now been restarted or is it still on hold? I haven't heard anything, thanks.

Was your application for mainline or depot? My understanding is that Depot driver is the only way in currently. Halted you say? Maybe any existing mainline applications will not be processed any further, I don't really know. Probably worth contacting recruitment/HR.

One of the lowest if not THE lowest.

They dont have Sundays included in the working week, if I remember correctly so that bumps up salary a bit.

What’s the difference between Liverpool Street WA and Liverpool Street Anglia?
WA is West Anglia, for Cambridge, Stansted, and Hertford East. Anglia is East Anglia, for Southend, Braintree, and beyond (?). The Ts&Cs are different between the two.
Also, applying in my area. Wish me luck

Sundays outside of contracted hours but committed, 1 in 3 I believe, paid at 1.25, you can work it or give it to someone else if they want it.

Sundays average roughly 1 in 4 on great eastern. Current Sunday rate is 1.75

Hello,
I passed stage 1 testing for ipswich trainee driver back in January and havent heard anything since . Anyone else from that group heard anything since? Or does anyone know when I can expect to get stage 2 invite . Seems a long time to wait?
Thank you

Same as me, I would also like to know any advice or insight anyone has.
Thank you
Update: from what I’ve seen on a 2019 post it resembles an SJT.
19 multiple choice scenario based questions with 3 answers to choose from
Bare in mind this is 7years ago now, not sure how it may have changed etc
Does anyone know if this TOC uses OPC to do the psycometric testing? I also received the Abellio Train Driver Talent screener but failed my Psycometric with another TOC, from what im seeing online is they use their own in-house. Just wanted to double check.
Thank you

Do they still use Abellio in the title? Seems really odd considering it’s over 3 years since it had anything to do with GA and now its been nationalised for the last 7 months too.
