Same, I think since the recent hints about easing the economy back to normality is prompting them to send emails like this. Just so everyone's ready and prepared to proceed with next steps. No doubt this process will be long, but recruiters will also be on their toes to make sure all new...

If I’m honest I think it’s about right. They’re not throwing money at any other grades apart from Train Drivers. Elizabeth Line isn’t even open yet let alone making any serious money. They’re a new company who are still in their infancy so I’d give it a good 5-10 years after the 2020 opening for...

Ok I don feel so back applying in March 2018 when there people waiting 3 years!! Also can someone kindly PM me any contacts in HR just to ask whats going on? Cheers!

My advice, choose MTR. Yes VT are already established and you seem to be enjoying your time there. You said you only joined the apprenticeship scheme to get your foot in the door. Now it’s in 2 doors lol. Think of it logically, you get an Oyster card zones 1-9 plus a priv card that allows you...

You guys should say hello when you pop into St Mary’s Axe lol. I may or may not be working for MTR

They’re literally learning from all the mistakes previous TOCs have made in the past is he gist I’m getting. It’s also the fact that not everyone is established in a role yet, so even if you got your foot through the door it’ll be a lot easier for you to move around the company. As for the...

They’ll recruit again don’t worry, they’ll always give you a generic answer in regards to future recruitment because like all TOCs when they first launch they have a rough figure of how many divers they’ll need but atm half their new trains aren’t even in service let alone the whole line. So as...

Guys they only have a limited number of interviewers so you’ve gotta be patient. MTR is still a growing company with very small teams compared to other TOCS. No point in getting overzealous because they’ll get around to you eventually. Trust me, I know things lol.

Does anyone know what standards Freightliner uses? As in National or Enhanced pass rates? Not sure if someone’s already asked

Ignore this wrong thread lol

I haven’t heard anything back since I applied earlier this month. Thought the job advert was fake when I first saw so who knows lol.

Gidea Park depot vacancy has been removed. Old Oak may be up there a little longer as that’s a very big depot that needs filling up. Not to mention the launch of the Central Operating Section around the corner they’ll need all drivers on deck. Good luck guys

Hi All, MTR have literally just posted vacancies for trainee drivers a few minutes ago so please do apply, they need the numbers lol. https://jobs.mtrcrossrail.co.uk/jobs/vacancy/find/results/

Hi guys, I’ve read almost all of this thread. But can someone confirm what the medical consists of for this recent round of recruitment? Thanks

I would just state in the section where it asks how you’d get to work if you live over an hour away that you can stay at your parents house when you have a shift. I mean you don’t have to, as long as you can get into work on time this shouldn’t be an acceptable reason. That’s what I stated...
