Applied for Wolves also not heard either. I remember in the past when I applied there was a long wait then.

Couldn’t believe I didn’t see this advertised before it was taken down. So I rang WMR Recruitment as I was in the talent pool back in London Midland Days, and wanted to see if I still was. Good news is , those that were in the talent pool still are. Bad news, this current talent pool...

Have just noticed they have now removed the word Trainee from the job title. How odd

Applied for this role back in July when they advertised then. Advert disappeared before the closing date at the End of September. Wonder if I will be considered this time or shall I just reapply.

Well same probably applies to me then. But have to be honest never heard of that 6 month thing before. Would be nice to be told these things before completing applications though. O well it’s all experience I suppose.

It’s more than a little frustrating to say the least

Rural I have just had the same e-mail and exactly the same predicament as you. It’s all very confusing. In my e-mail they state that I have taken the tests twice which is true. I first took all the tests in 2015 for DB Schenker. Passed them then. I then took part one of the assessments for...

Not a clue. I got invited to the assessments at Wednesbury but because of the drop in wage I requested to be taken out of the application process, it was a shame because I think it would be a great job but just couldn't afford the pay cut. Had I gone further along the application process I would...

I applied for this the last time round a couple of months back. Like you I am a guard for a local TOC and I asked Midland Metro what the pay would be after training and it is well below what you earn as a conductor, at about £21000 Which I thought wrong as it's still should be considered a...

Just to make any applicants aware got to live within 45 minutes of the Depot sadly rules me out but good luck to those that apply.

Just out of curiosity. Have Freightliner opened up recruitment for Trainee drivers again, and if so where is the information? As when I go on the website the job adverts for Train drivers ask for experienced drivers not trainees.

Has anyone who applied for this heard anything? I have noticed they took the job down from the jobs page, way before the closing date

No just assumption. Would be great if is not the case

You should be fine they always need guards and drivers, otherwise the trains don't run. You will end up getting a swanky new uniform to replace the new uniform your about to receive. But looks like those of us who were in London Midland talent pools for drivers jobs will have to start again...

Afternoon does anyone know how much a Driver/CSR gets paid on Midland Metro after training? And is this a good way to becoming a Train Driver, if that's my ulitimate goal?. Have been invited for an assessment but not sure if it's a good idea to continue with the application partly because the...
