have you heard anything from FGW since completing the online tests?

do you have a contact number for recruitment? still waiting to hear regarding Selhurst application as being in for a couple of months

ok cool nothing to challenging from them then, I was based in Oxford so the routes consisted mainly of Oxford-Paddington- Oxford / Morton in marsh / Worcester Foregate Street / Great Malvern (mainly on FGW east / Cotswolds with having to go to Newport if there operations required which was very...

Cool - do you know what the FGW tests consist of as the email did not give much information as to what they include. I am going to sit down and complete them tomorrow evening when I have time to concentrate on it properly

My interview went quite well yesterday they have invited me back in for a further assessment, On top of that the employer that invited me for an interview on the same day for XC have invited me to an open day next week and an assessment the following week I have received the FGW online testing...

Yeah same position really plus I turned down another interview on the same day to go to the xc one so it was very annoying and about a 8 hour day with travel. I will now wait to see if they will provide the feedback they say is available ;-)

Hi how did you get along with the selection process at XC?

Further to the interview for the first class host positions - experienced the same situations you had mentioned however there was a position. one of the candidates parent was conducting the assessment process and the candidate was also the partner of a train manager. My opinion is a little bit...
