So I've applied for a Grade 2 signalling role in the Rufford, Wigan & Whitehaven Areas. I've so far passed through all the various stages, I did a signaller scenario assessment last weekend and have my competency interview booked for mid week. I think I've well prepared for this, I have multiple...

Well done on stage one and I'll see you next week at the next assessment.

I was hoping you might offer such advice, that'd be great thank you.

You too buddy, let me know how it goes and all the best.

Ah fair enough, I was worried for a minute there lol yeah I applied for the Leeds Neville hill depot role.

Sweet, well done I wasn't expecting to hear back so quick, but definitely happy to have done so. They're doing yours in Derby though? They told me all that was available was the 28th in Leeds! Why Derby again?

I got an email today mate, I'm going to the next stage of assessments next Friday (28th) in Leeds Have you heard anything yet?

Yeah, the waiting sucks, two weeks as well, such a long time. I've heard many people find out on the day, I have a friend who certainly did, I don't get it. But still, hopefully we did as well as we think and it'll be worth the wait

Hey buddy, you know, I'm feeling pretty confident with how I did. I'd say I was far from perfect (being the only person not to have registered when I arrived was a particularly poor start lol), but overall I'm happy with what I did. Yeah I feel a little nervous too, but what's done is done, so...

Awesome, that's really helpful advice, thanks

So, stage 1 assessment day tomorrow, what's everyone's thoughts on dress code? Are these events that require formal suits as you'd expect at any interview, or do people go more casually?

12th Feb for me too, see you there.

I've now received details via email for the stage 1 assessments, looking forward to it

I also had an email from them on Saturday, saying I'd been shortlisted for the role, pretty happy to be moving forward with it. This will be my first application for a job in rail.

Hey guys, so I was wondering if anyone has any idea on how often TPE recruit for trainee drivers? I only saw the ad for this the day it closed, so never even got the chance to apply.
