They have around 7 people per class n they normal group each location applied for together. So snow hill new street n Bletchley would mean 21 drivers. Im sure there was more locations so don’t worry there are plenty of vacancies

Don’t give up mate I tried for almost 7 years and got it on my 3rd attempt. Persistence is key

It’s exactly that! You guys may have passed the SJT, but then failed to meet the standard on the application. This is only the first SJT and it is made up as part of your application. Keep trying though it took me 3attempts.

No news is good news, there were approx 6100 applicants. Good luck guys

Some people have had a response confirming they’ve been unsuccessful, if you haven’t heard bk by now you’ve most likely made it to the next stage. It normally takes 3-6weeks to hear bk

I had a update the other day from my instructor he said training should be resuming shortly, also had a letter from aslef stating we will be doing half of the normal shift to mitigate covid risk during in-cab training. We also have to have a 1 week refresher course on the rules. I’m guessing...

thanx… I appreciate the advice

hi my friend has a interview for conductor on the 10th could you please share any information on what to expect.

All the Toc's around the country use the same place I've never heard of anyone doing stage 2 tests anywhere other than there.

You can pretty much choose whatever day suits you best.

they're looking for how you handle pressure and how you act in emergency situations so keep that in mind, explain how you keep your cool and how you plan ahead and implement things to avoid possible problems and reduce risk. when you pass that remember everything because the dmi is very similar

I applied in feb but I had already passed all my assessments also, I think very few got fast tracked through the process most had done the assessments already. hang in there it does take a while but its worth it

Great see you mate. Congratulations to us all :)

Yh Im guesing id be same since it looks like we will be training together. Tbh I don't mind where they put me as long as im driving

Yh some companies are like that, arriva are pretty good. I missed out with them because they do an enhanced test. and I missed the score by 1. I know exactly where I went wrong aswell but luckily ive got through here so no need to apply with them again. happy days
