    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    I'm starting in 3 weeks today and hoping to receive some more information soon about my first day: where to go etc.. I've already signed my contract and all the paperwork that comes with that. Should I be getting worried or is this normal?

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    I have my start date of the 3rd of February for Oxford and am concentrating on finding somewhere to live now. (I live near Manchester now!)

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    Hi everyone. I had my second assessment centre earlier this week and felt it went well. I received an email yesterday saying ''Confirmation that you have booked your interview at 11:30 on 6th of December... etc''... Does this mean I have made it through to the dm interview? I was confused...
