Hi guys
Any Piccadilly or Wolverhampton drivers on here?
Just wondering the shifts pattern, routes etc that new starters would be doing?
Tried searching for info on Internet but couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance.

Cheers fella.
Not a bad shift pattern indeed.
Wonder how far away from St Pancras do some of their drivers live?
I take it you've got to be within 45-60 mins away.

Hi Benbow,
Sorry to hear about that fella. Let's hope you can go back in August and re-do the structured interview.
If you don't mind me asking, do you know what the six sections are for the interview? I've passed the assessments and need to do a Structured and Managers interview. These...
Hi fella,
I also was there. Done all the assessments and they said they'll send a letter out in 2-3 weeks inviting me back to do the Strctured and Managers interview. I'm still waiting for the invite.
What assessments do you have left to do?
I'm unsure if its normal to wait this long...
True!
I wonder if the structured interview is as really bad as it sounds.
From what I've researched, it seems to be very intense and they really grill you.
Hi all
Does anybody know that if you fail a trainee train drivers manager interview but pass the structured interview, would this count as a one of your chances at the driver assessment??
Thanks
Dave.
