Stating 'apply for another TOC straight away' may not be entirely true...FGW, TPE, FCC are all seperate TOCs but if you fail at any point (as I did at DM interview stage with FGW) and subject to a 6 month wait, it applies to ALL First Group owned TOCs...

Ditto, I'm a lefty, so I got the missus to read it...she is my worse critic when it comes to my writing and she managed. So should be fine in my case :lol:

I can tell we have a top driver in the making here :roll: Your post is numbered 25...post number 24 directly above yours:

Applied...completed form sent back. Now the waiting begins (again)!

I have the application form....one of the questions asks if you are willing to relocate. :D

Do they allow for relocations? I live bang on 1hr from Crewe...but I would move, even if I lived 30-40mins from Crewe. Currently do a 45-60min commute and hate it...so would definately move closer to the depot. Nothing tying me down where I am and have the funds sat just waiting for the...

You be invited to attend stage 1 assessments. (if it is like FGW process) Once you pick a date on the system of when you want to attend, they send you the 2no nice booklets via email for you to practise. If you want further info do a search of these forums, plenty of info readily available...

Lol same here... even when I get calls on my mobile and I go off to answer it. I get the 'questioning looks'. :lol:

This worried me on my stage 1...For the TRP tests I put a line through the answers. Once we had finished and they collected the answer sheets in I could see everyone else had 'filled the box', it was then I remembered that this was one of the instructions at the beginning. It was too late to...

With FGW: Filled out online application; Completed 2no online assessments; Telephone Interview; Stage 1 (GB, Tea-Occ, TRP part 1 and 2, WCT (all paper)); Stage 2 (WAFV, ATAVT, 2 hand co-ordination (all computer) followed by SJE and MMI); DM Interview [As far as I got]; Medical; Job Offer.

From what I gather its pretty much the same and all on one First Group system. I was unsuccessful at DM interview with a position at Oxford for FGW back in February and was eager to apply for the recently advertised trainee positions with TPE. At first I was incorrectly informed I could...

Think when I completed mine, there were 2no sheets, one on top of the other e.g. Carbon paper, hence the pushing hard.

I am in the talent pool....post was aimed at finding out what stages peeps are at (mainly for Bescot) as I am out the normal recruitment loop e.g. nothing heard yet or they have started to do the assessments etc.

Anyone here apply for the Bescot depot in November and heard anything back?

Not to add fuel to a fire, but at my interview, there was only 2 DM's present, both from the same depot and not from the one I applied for. I was unsuccessful and the feedback I was eventually given, now I have had a few weeks to think it over, doesn't ring true with what I said in that...
