best bet I have found, although it hasn't really helped is to contact the ASLEF sec for the depots you are looking at to try and find out the recruitment situation. keep in mind though, most managers just say to me speak to recruitment

Know how you feel, been looking for the whole of this year and more or less no qualified jobs at the moment only trainees. Emailled all the TOCs and just get no reply or generic check website. Seems to be a trainee market these days.

Anyone have any information on pay/rosters for Balfour Beatty MPV drivers? Also I can think of them running Autumn for leaf fall and winter for de-icing, do they then do something like weed spraying for the rest of the year? Many thanks

thanks I appreicate that and i do understand but just not ideal as I was planning if successful to be grade 2 for the 14 weeks before passout, then grade 4 and then onto grade 6 and that salary would be perfect for my current situation. Being now possibly stuck on grade 2 for the foreseable and...

Yeh I understand that. I was just wondering what sort of choice there was at any given time. The pool system makes sense, but not knowing where you'll end up and what you'll earn isn't very appealing!

So can I ask another question, went to my assessment centre and it went nicely however one thing that caught me off guard was when I was asking about the training length for the box I specifically applied for I got told that I hadn't in fact applied for that location but only a pool position and...

Thanks. Yep my candidate profile has updated. You too!

I am in a similar position for a different location and Ambertrack have just rung me to tell me what to expect and prepare for the interview. They did say there was a presentation and details are on the candidate portal but that isn't the case for me so they are investigating. I assume you will...

Hi, I think it might just be me in this category but anyone who is waiting to hear back from the Arundel vacancy, I just spoke to Ambertrack and they told me they are expecting to hear from the hiring manager today or tomorrow about who is being shortlisted and they will update everyone very...

Same boat. Applied for Arundel and got through to assessment centre and still waiting for that... Passed the online bits and video interview. Emailing Ambertrack just literally repeats what the online page says, you're successful but we haven't released dates yet for next stage...

anyone know if Arundel position is progressing yet? passed the video interview and then radio silence and the job is still being advertised. Also trying to get hold of the LOM to arrange a visit but no luck going through NR either. Anyone that can help would be brilliant!

Many thanks

Yes sorry. Did a load of searching found nothing, put up this post and then found a load of interior pics! Appreciate the reply though

Good afternoon all Was wondering if anyone had any photos of Arundel signal box and knew what grade it was? Also, anyone know what grade the position at Basingstoke is? they both say grade 2 but not sure where that could be? Many thanks

Thanks for that. I had the suspicion of it being Basingstoke but the map location and advert said Eastleigh. I'll drop them an email. Many thanks
