Got my results as well, and I didnt make it. I have already 2 applications with Northern and Thameslink pending to hear from them, not sure if this result will automatically takes me out? Bit down atm but we can we do, the email said "testing is based around verbal & numerical reasoning...

Hi guys, A quick question and I do apologise if it has been asked/answered before. I applied for Southern, Northern and Thameslink on the 13th Dec last year, and I have done the STJ and miniSCAAT for Southern, however, I have still no heard back from the other two, whether is positive or...

I applied for the 3 of them on the 13th and still heard nothing back. Was a bit worried as some people had already recieved their rejections but I am pretty sure they are overwhelmed but also I guess most of their HR staff is on annual leave.

How would you structure the cover letter? I am really having problems of how to address this.

HI, I havent applied yet. I know it sounds stupid and I am probably missing my chances, but I feel really insecure about it as I have no knowledge of what the procedure is, and what kind of test are involved ( lot of people already practising them ) and I dont want to rush myself into a bad...

hi mate, thanks for replying, I know i should know more about this but is the Group Bourdon a package of tests? Would you recommend to wait if successful to receive materials?

This might be useful for me as I cannot get my head around all the information. there should be a "become a train driver for dummies" book. I see lots of different tests, people practicing them... Assuming I have zero knowledge, what advice would you give me in order to progress?

why wouldn't it be? My partner is a nurse and to be honest that is one of the best things we could ever have. We both have our own time, and we plan according to her rota. Not difficult at all. Now, I don't know about both partners doing shifts. In our case, we have agreed if I were to become...

My only concern with this is, do men and women have the same opportunities to apply for a, let's say driver's job? If yes, we are done. If no, please name the reasons. But allow women by lowering the standards is moronic.

Yeah, I guess it is what it is. I just recently got a new job, and during the first 6 months is a month, but after that, jumps to two months. Hopefully there enough time from being offered a job and the starting date. thanks!

will a two month notice be something negative in the application?

Stupid question, but I think it could be worth it for people already in different roles but willing to become a driver. Throughout the selection process, are interviews, assessments, etc... arranged during the week working hours? Thanks in advance.

am i the only one that cannot see the job once clicked on it?

Anyone knows if they will consider people willing to relocate? I am happy to do it if selected.

apologies for the double post, as per your nickname, I can assume you´re in Bromley ( East London myseld) would you mind if i DM you ( i cannot at the moment, don´t know why) with a few questions? I am a bit lost on a few aspects and my close circle is not really familiar with the UK railway.
