My application has gone also, have been waiting for 2 years for medical also, so I too assume it’s all been canned. Disappointed but not unexpected the way things have been going with the Ashford depot.

I think your right unfortunately, Dear Candidate, Thank you for your patience while you have been awaiting news regarding start date for a Train Driver Course for our Ashford depot. Unfortunately we are unable to confirm a start date for you to join a 2019 training course for Ashford at...

Hi Guys, Looks like the Chart Leacon Depot is starting to move now, so hopefully not too much longer to wait. https://www.kentonline.co.uk/ashford/news/50-new-jobs-as-former-train-depot-reopens-196331/

It all looks more positive than it did in October. Reading that link, it appears that southeastern will move into the Chart Leacon Depot, with Thameslink going to the Hitachi one? Hopefully things may start moving in the next few months. Anyway Merry Christmas everyone and fingers crossed for 2018.

That’s a relief, not just me then. Seriously though, how long do your assessment last for, I thought it was 2 years? I passed mine in June 17 so pretty much the same time as yourself. Or is it 2 years since you pass everything, ie mum and dmi? At least that’ll give another year..

Granted, it is very disappointing, however I’d rather be in my current position and be on a waiting list than not. Where you live then? I’m in dodgy Dover so have no chance of Orpington..

Afternoon Guys, Just got this: Dear Candidate, Thank you for patience while you have been awaiting news regarding a course start date for Ashford Depot. Unfortunately we are still unable to provide start dates for Ashford at this time, however we do have a few vacancies at our Orpington...

Hi guys, Just received this Dear Candidate, Thank you for patience while you have been awaiting news regarding a course start date for Thameslink Kent Depots. Unfortunately we are unable to provide start dates for Thamelink Kent Depots currently, as you are aware our network is undergoing...

Thanks for that, I was starting to wonder. At least the kids can have a holiday!!

Hi all, I’m in same boat also, was told possibly March at one stage, but if the rumours are true then god knows. Fingers crossed.
