    Trainee driver interview with Southeastern

    Hi. I failed interview unfortunately but will have another go in a year. Regards your question, its as you'll find on the forum really, tell me about the company, why do you want to be a driver.

    Trainee driver tests

    Hi Thanks for getting back. When you applied for SWT and GTR did you wait for vacancies or just send your CV in? And I'm wondering the reason you gave as to why you chose southeastern instead of their TOC. Tom

    Trainee driver tests

    Hi. I passed the tests and first interview back in January 2016 but failed the managers' interview and was wondering whether it is any advantage for applying to other train companies. Does it enable you not to have to do the tests again does anyone know? Tom

    Was i too old at interview to be a train driver?

    Ok. Thanks. I've spoken to train drivers who have failed managers' interview and been successful second time including one who was already a train driver on another company. I'll have a look at the feedback and probably have another go.

    Was i too old at interview to be a train driver?

    Yes. I was asked specifically my date of birth. I had it before when I went for interview with BT. I'll have a look at feedback and might have another go. I was told that including wages, it takes £104,000 to train a driver. It does make sense the younger you are the cheaper it is really.

    I don't think he said 'confirm' but cant honestly remember. I know I had to take photo ID so I took my passport, but no one asked to look at it.

    Hi. Gone all through tests and finally had managers' interview Tuesday just gone. Unfortunately I failed, I found out today, and am disappointed. The interview went well I thought. I'd done my homework on the Southeastern website and this one, talked to drivers and platform staff to find out...

    Hi. I'm having great difficulty identifying the main and metro stations. Ive asked train drivers, platform staff, southeastern website and Wikipedia but no one can really say. I show them the route map but no one knows really. Do you know at all?
