Had email saying they're keep my details on file for six more months then I'll have to re-apply due to a 'change in the business needs' or words to that effect. Anybody that applied for the original role I'd recommend applying for other jobs in the industry in the meantime - ticket snipping...

Is it possible to apply for another advertised vacancy within GTR whilst waiting in the 'talent pool', as a way to get a foot in the door, or will it affect my original application? I'm more than happy to do a role which isn't my first choice while I wait for my original position, but I...

Has anyone heard back from the original GTR 1072 role? Had an E-mail at the start of December but nothing since.

Hi all, are you all waiting for trainee driver positions here? I've been told that I'm in a ''reserve pool'' for the position of shunter for three months now - is it normal to wait for up to two years for this position too?

Yep, just got to be patient. I don't expect to hear anything until next year now. I've heard January as a rumour, but I also heard November was a possibility and that never happened. I know somebody who works at one of the depots I've applied for and they started two new shunters recently but...

Same as you NewArrival - I've had E-mail confirmation that I've passed the interview and I'm on the list for when the vacancies become available. The next step is a phone call from them to do the medical. Also hope it doesn't take too long! Stevebuk - how long did it take for them to phone you...

Yeah, just need to know I've actually got it now and pass the medical, so not counting my chickens just yet :) It's now on the ''offer stage'' mresh91, but I've also had an E-mail to say I'm on the reserve list for when the vacancies become available. What depot did you apply for?

Passed the assessment, passed the interview, had E-mail to say I'm on the reserve list for a vacancy. How long does this normally take for non-driving shunters on the great northern line? I'm itching to give my notice in, but not if I've got to wait for months. Looking forward to getting my...

Max- Letchworth or Welwyn. Red - The GLOP test was the same as in 2007 as I realised once presented with it. I passed that stage and the dots and dials too, so now have an interview in Hornsey next week. Because the shunting role that I've applied for doesn't involve driving, I think the...

Yes I am external. It's this - Trainability for rules and procedures test (TRP) that I meant to say originally. It's the 'multi-modal interview' that I'm most concerned about. I would like to find out if that is part of the process for shunting applicants, or if it's just for trainee drivers...

Hello all, I applied for the role of trainee driver back in 2007 for FCC as a 20 year old and got through to the interview stage but failed there. I've now applied to be a shunter for Govia-Thameslink and they've given me a date for an assessment at Croydon. On the E-mail, they say I only...
