    Chiltern - Apprentice Train Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    Not for chiltern, only have Stourbridge, birmingham,banbury, aylesbury, Bletchley and marylebone. Banbury has recently recruited some more but this will be the last for a long time I would imagine. As stated banbury is well over established at the moment.

    Assessments & Medicals discussion

    Well if you've already done the tests then they should be held on the national database so they can see what else you'd need to take. You should only have to take any additional tests avanti require. Why cant opc access your record if you've taken it with them before? How long ago was it?

    Assessments & Medicals discussion

    As you've said you've already failed twice so I think you're out of the game but im not sure if when they changed the tests recently whether that reset anybody who had taken the tests before? If so then you've only used 1 life but if your lives weren't reset then unfortunately you wont get...
