I had this worry when I became a train driver nearly 3 years ago for something I did when 19. It's quite clear, on the application they will ask for any unspent convictions. Yours is spent so do not declare anything unnecessarily, you're not telling any lies. In regards to rehabilitation of...

Yep, Ilford!:D

The is definetly a DD cource starting on the 1st of feb, I'm on it! :D

I applied around july/june time and have a start date of 1st of feb at Ilford. Very long process!

It’s not GA values its Abellio values you need to be looking at. Also Abellio are owned by NS based in Holland. I had my manager’s interview last week at Stratford and was fortunate enough to get offered the position pending the medical. I received mixed advice on what to expect, some saying...

Yeah its at Kings Cross. Might go and get a hearing test done tomorrow to try and put my mind at rest.

My normal hearing is fine but I struggle with high pitched frequencies . Just have to go to the medical and see, its out of my hands really!

Thanks everyone. I applied for Southend but it was full so I'm going to be at Ilford. Just want to get the medical completed bit worried about my hearing its not terrible but its not perfect either

Thats strange because I was definetly told yesterday he was only recruting 3 more people for the 1st of Feb start date

Well got the phone call today, I start on 1st of Feb pending the medical. :D

When I applied it was advertised as a mainline job but has since changed to a depot job which is disappointing. Also it’s now going to be an hour away from where I applied but even though I would still accept if offered the position.

Southend is full and 3 left at Ilford

Not too sure if you’re allowed to name people on a public forum but the interview was at Shenfield. The interview itself was mostly based on my CV and just really informal. Very difficult to gauge how I did and was told he had a lot of candidates to choose from. Also the depot I wanted was...

I asked how many places were left and was told 3. Think I was the last candidate to be interviewed as well. My interview was very different to you guys, a very informal chatty interview and glad I did some company research because that did come up.

J, Thanks for the information you gave earlier about the sort of criteria based issues that might come up. Can you remember any specific questions that arose? Any help or information is greatly appriciated. I have my interview tomorrow. Andy
