It's a shame that you can't apply to jobs at different stations. I made an arse of the second part of the application for Glasgow etc. by rushing it. We still have to wait the 6 month period before submitting any other station applications. Fingers crossed Abellio will do another recruitment...

This is my last post on this balls-up by me. I was on the First website daily after I missed the recruitment drive. I signed up to alerts from the First site in case any jobs came up again. It was a fair assumption that it would be quite some time until another load came up for training, so I...

Cheers mate, will do!

No, Firstgroup.com Scotrail afaik.

Just to give you guys a heads up. I emailed careers@first to see why I never received an alert and if they're likely to recruit in the near future. This is the response: Thank you for your email. We had to close the advert early due to receiving over 1000 applications. Given this level of...

Yeah ok I get it, it does come across as though I'm on the blame wagon. I didn't mean for it to sound like that! I apologise to all. Good luck

I didn't blame anybody! I certainly don't hold this forum accountable for my misfortune. I also don't expect to be notified by this forum about vacancies, it was just an idea to help everyone out, so get off my case. I signed up for alerts on the First website and never received the email...

This has been mentioned before among a 700 post thread about a sticky for job vacancies. Is it possible to start a sticky that you subscribe to, to get email alerts but is strictly for job vacancies and does not turn into a conversation that becomes too much to sift through? I have missed...

Are you serious??? I've signed up to alerts and got nothing but a heads up email from this thread!!! I can't believe I missed this again. I've just gone on to First website and it wasn't there so went on to Indeed and it was there but closed! I'm so ****ed off now I can't sleep Nevermind, this...

Does that mean there are new applicant vacancies or will they be filled by the lucky ones who have already got through??

Great, thanks a million! I might have a chance of applying this year or early next year. Fingers and toes crossed!

Does anyone know the sort of timescales between the hiring of trainees. I know there's a block of folk just going through interviews and assessments at the mo. Do they have a set number of trainees per year? Is there likely to be any more trainees this year ? Thanks for any help and the very...

Thanks Senshi. That's what I thought, as a trainee wouldn't be station specific! I must be missing something!

I apologise if this has been asked before. To set alerts for trainee driver on the First website, I have selected Glasgow central/train driver/permanent. Is this correct as I couldn't find a specific trainee application. Thanks for any help, James
