I applied 2nd March last year. Had an update last week stating my application is in 'HR pass status' and awaiting a date for assessment. Won't be till end of year, if this year at all. Damn covid!!

I applied for the trainee driver role back in March last year. My application is still live and in 'HR pass status' (whatever that means!) Hopefully hear back at some point. Congrats on your success Sir Hateley!

I received the same response after I passed the online assessment for the trainee train driver role. I think there's a point system in place for all those that passed, so those with a higher score will be progressed to the next stage. All depends on the volume of people that passed and the...

Hi Michael1985, Sorry to hear that you fell at the final hurdle but you appear to be showing great resilience; I'm sure you'll bounce back stronger and smash it next time. I'm waiting to hear back to see if I've made it through to the assessment day, you're feedback and experience is very...

Hi guys, At what stage of the recruiment process are you at? Have you completed the assessment day and now awaiting interview? I applied for the tainee train driver position at Yeovil Junction beginning of March, done the online assessments which I passed, was sent an email stating even though...

Hi Applepie356! I'm not sure if I'm honest. Normally the adverts would state 'internal applicants only'. I believe companies have to show that they are externally advertising positions. Obviously those already in the industry with experience will be seen as the more suitable candidates I'd imagine.

Sorry to hear that :( we'll get there, I'm sure of it, just got to keep applying :)

I've just recieved an email informing me I was unsuccessful for the Customer Ambassador role. I guess I just sit tight and wait to hear back regarding my Trainee Train Driver application. Bit gutted but guess perseverance and resilience is key!

Cheers for the message DTH! From what I can gather, it's difficult to get into any role within the railway industry, thus having to complete all assessments for the customer ambassador role. I always think that good things come to those who wait so prepared to wait, however, I absolutely agree...

Ah no! Well at least you know what to expect next time. Sounds like you did well to get that far considering the volume of applications for each role. Keep applying and I wish you luck. Thank you :) Yes I did notice. Glad I got my application in! Did the online assessment but not heard...

When I spoke to a member of recruitment the other day, I was informed that due to the social distancing measures, they are not training new drivers at the moment. I was told to just sit tight and wait for an email. Yes I'm happy to consider any role with a view of progressing and becoming a...

Yes the driver application is for Yeovil Junction too and I live approx 30 mins from Yeovil Junction. Is the train depot not Yeovil Junction then?

Yes it's for Yeovil Junction. If my driver application was unsuccessful then I wouldn't be pondering and I'd go for this Customer Ambassador role with no hesitation but as my driver application is still live (assuming I'm waiting to hear back about psychometrics) I don't know what to do. I agree...

Hi folks, Looking for some advice if I may... I applied for the Trainee Train Driver role back in March. I was recently told by the recruitment team my application is still live but there is a delay in recruitment for this role for obvious reasons. I recently applied for the Customer...

Can I ask what you mean by an 'open access operator'? P.s. I applied for a trainee train driver position back at the beginning of March so I am in the same boat with your thinking; leaving a well secured job for something that potentially isn't. I will be keeping a close eye on this thread...
