Greater Anglia - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

[TheHub]

Thank you.
I didn't have a choice in the venue, it is all was available when I looked on the booking portal within moments of receiving the progression e-mail. I'd much rather be returning to Stratford for convenience.
Still not been able to determine whether it is just for the computerised tests or interview questions

I applied for mainline based at Colchester but it seems we have all been dropped to depot drivers

I had an email 2 weeks ago from an email i sent following up my application, to be told there isnt any positions available at the moment, but I'll be called in for stage 2 assessment when positions come available? Anyone else had this?

Also i applied 2 days ago for another position at colchester for a depot driver.

I was unsuccessful at my DMI, I got the impression they don’t know what’s going on with these changes. Wish everyone best of luck though

That’s unlucky mate, sorry to hear.

When did you find out and did you get any feedback?

I had mine last week too (on the 9th), no result yet.

Ah strange, I don’t recall you! I was on the morning of 26th August, interview was the last one around 2pm - never mind!

When did you find out about your result?
When I had my interview they did say they were going to go through the attendees interviews last Friday.

I had my day 2 assessment today 14/10. Received a phone call later the same evening from GA to congratulate me on passing
I was offered a DMI at Colchester for depot or Bishops Stortford for mainline roles.

I did Stage 1 at Stratford at the end of August, got offered a Stage 2 but didnt need to do it as was already sat on a pass, so am now waiting for a DMI for Cambridge.

Just getting a bit concerned that everyone seems to be having interviews and theyve now put more adverts out for Cambridge if ive missed the boat for some reason.

Is anyone else still waiting for a DMI?

Unlucky. Don't let that stop you applying again. Now you have some insight try prepare and practice your answers. I failed my first one. Managed to get another 7 months later and passed that time.

Doubt you’ve missed it, in my interview they said they are looking for around 30 drivers in Cambridge, the training will be in groups of 8.

I am awaiting the result from my DMI, which I completed last week.

I was advised that they were going to be reviewing the interviews Friday afternoon/Monday…

So hopefully no news is still good news!

I wonder if they process unsuccessful people first, followed by the successful applicants?
