    First Rail London - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    I applied and had a confirmation email that they received my application on 11 July. I am being patient as they said I should hear back in 2-4 weeks. I haven't heard anything as yet, keeping my fingers crossed I'll hear soon. Good luck all.
