Thank you. I really had given up hope that it was ever going to happen. Hopefully there will be more and more places opening up for people in here.

Mainline.

Plymouth.

Thanks. Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks for the quick responses...and level of detail. Am I correct in thinking it's office hours until Intro to Handling module? PLY. Medical Dec, course Jan...but after 3.5yrs of waiting, I'm not counting my chickens just yet!

Had the call this week. Apologies in advance for asking for information which I'm sure is on here somewhere, but I've searched and cannot find it. It might also be outdated anyway... Is anyone able to point me in the direction of an overview of first 8mths of training, so I can see what to...

My wife sat next to a GWR worker on the train to PLY and she mentioned I was in the talent pool and did he know anything about it. He said he had heard the talent pool was complete and they had selected 4x internal candidates for the first course.

Does anyone have any info on GWR Plymouth... George, I didn't want to post this in the forum (because it's only hearsay) but I saw your message...

Wow! I used to commute the other way - from Plymouth to Indian Queens - not the nicest commute. Petefox83 & dabollikcs, I had the same thing when I originally applied to Exeter SD pool and it wasn't an issue. That was 1hr plus with the roads clear of traffic, all the lights on green and a...

I switched from Exeter TP to Plymouth TP after completing the initial assessment. I just emailed First Group HR. Not sure if it's possible later in the process.

Good start to the year. Well done.

Omar, I can confirm that Zoom DMI is same as Danetime says - 2 interviewers. You have to show government issued ID to the webcam at the start of the interview and then email a scanned copy once the interview is over. Good luck.
