Same here. 10 months waiting and they can't give a reason why!!!

No it's not.

I haven't. I've been in work since applying for this job, and have already passed assessments some time back for another TOC. However the job that I may be about to commit to is one of those which will want payment if I leave within a few years after training is completed. I don't really...

Anyone else heard yet? I hope I get a response soon. I'm about to commit to a job that I don't particularly want because of waiting for this one. I really want this ARL job.

One consolation is that you can apply for other TOCs without doing the assessments again.

I've had no new email.

Sorry to hear that.

Still waiting too. I'm taking it as no news in good news. I understand the LO are going 24 hours a day, so we may be in mind for that. Hopefully not too long now though.

Very sadly, I bought it up with the DM a few times. But he didn't want to know. I even wrote a list of things that were concerns of mine and they again did not want to know.

You're basing my mentality to be a driver on a few appreciative words?

I will await the reply from TOC 2. I did change my application unfortunately before reading this. I had to put "dismissed" in the drop down box and that "I did not pass the assessment and meet the standard" as the reason. Kinda wish these latest replies had come in first. But I also...

Yeah I know. Just wanted some information that I could maybe use to help me - show them that I really want the job.

Thanks. Any ideas of where I can pick up details on routes and traction?

Hi, I'm hoping to get an interview soon with arriva rail London/London Overground, for New Cross Depot. I'm after some advice, from current staff who work there, like what routes you drive, where I can get hold of route maps, traction details etc etc. Basically anything you think can...

I can understand that. But virtually DI 2 rubbished what DI 1 has done and DI 3 rubbished everything and told me that everything I'd learned before was crap and that only his way was right. Didn't exactly inspire confidence.
