    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    True, but I'm not even getting replies to my email, and haven't the faintest what contact numbers I can use to ring :S. I did my interview at the start of November though, so that's not exactly the run up to christmas :S. I just want an answer now :/.

    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    I'm also feeling the frustration of hearing nothing. Had an interview about a month ago now, and not heard anything back. Emailed last Monday, and their autoreplier told me I'd get a response with in 36 hours. Still nothing :/. Surely they would of made a decision either way, and could let out...

    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    Hey guys, just a quick update, I did my assessment for the Reading depo on the 10th, with part 2 on the 17th of September. Heard nothing back for ages, dropped HR an email and got a standard reply saying they hadn't received my results back etc etc etc. Really thought I hadn't passed it. Then I...

    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    I'm really worried I messed up in the interview. Thought I did okay, but thinking back not sure if I did :O. I know they score you in 5 different areas, but if you get a fail or borderline pass in one area, does that mean you fail the whole assessment course? or is there an overall grade for the...

    A career as a train driver

    From what I've read there isn't really one. But you still have to take into consideration that it will cost a lot of money to train a driver. Not really worth it if they retire 2 years after :X

    Structured Interview

    My big worry is that the situation I'm going to put down for that question won't fit what they are expecting :O. But I guess I just have to see.

    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    Yea, I'm just worried that I won't have all the experience they require :O. Have written down a few examples to the example questions I found on here, guess I can't do much more though. Did you have to write them out before hand?

    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    How did you find out what passes you got? I just got a welcome to the next stage, no break down :O. Didn't you have two? We got told to use the pen since we had to press down hard. How scary was it? Dreading the interview tbh :O

    Finishing the Dials test

    FGW doesn't accept borderline passes :P Ash44: I totally understood what was required, and breezed though the practice materials one, I guess I was shocked at how many and how little time there was for the main event :P. Plus adding in numbers threw me off a little. I either got them all...
