I'm based in Romford, so was pretty much on the edge of the 'travelling time' radius for those two depots as it was :( I am pretty much certain that there are no other GTR depots that I am within an hour or so of. I think I'd better give them a call/email to try to get a realistic answer :(

Hmm. Unexpected news. As somebody who is down for KGX or Blackfriars, how screwed am I? :| If KGX is undergoing a partial closure and Blackfriars a full closure, does this mean that I'm effectively out? As I don't live within the required travelling time for any other depots?

I'm waiting on KGX or Blackfriars. Passed everything except the medical last June/July. I've not been told any rough start month, but when I asked I was told that I would be okay to do a bit of travelling this summer as there will still be courses afterwards, so the October whispers sound...

Just thought people might be interested to hear this. I'm down for KGX (or Blackfriars, but I'm pretty sure that they put me as KGX) I've had an awesome opportunity for a trip this summer (Mongol Rally if anyone's heard of it!) - I was bricking it as it's 5 weeks or so, so obviously if it...

Hmm... I'm also awaiting a medical but didn't receive an email. Not sure what to make of that! However, I did speak to them a week or two back and was told that due to the size of the pool, my start date would more than likely be 2016. But, a bulk email with revised contact details was going...

That's actually a relief to hear - I was starting to worry. Very frustrating though. If I do hear anything I'll let you know, if it's okay could you do the same please? :)

I don't suppose that anybody has a contact email or phone number for recruitment that they could PM me? I've had a role change at my current work and need to let them know, as it also reduces my notice period. I emailed both the one that Ronke emailed me when I initially got accepted...

I must admit that I'm getting very nervous whether or not anything will come of it, now. Hopefully all of you have said we're all definitely getting on courses are right!! Still no date for the medical but I guess up to this point everything has been exceptionally quick (heard I'd passed the...

Passed the DMI :D I only had it yesterday as well, they got back really quick! So just waiting on a date for the medical now! Congrats to everybody so far! :)

I'm not long off the phone to recruitment and you were dead right :) So fingers crossed for this week then! Thank you

Hi guys, a bit of advice if it's alright please! I've emailed Scotrail but being a weekend I won't be able to find out until Monday. I've mostly been applying for local positions (near London) but the thought of the total life change that would come with relocating for the trainee position...

I got my email through and booked my assessment day on the 8th :D I applied back in April. Extremely nervous - and extremely excited - as this is something that I have wanted to do for a few years now, but originally wasn't old enough when I first decided (22 now). I have a pretty strong...

Brilliant, thank you :) And yes, I assumed that was why! Well, fingers crossed :)

I've applied for this, but I don't suppose that anybody is able to confirm the salary? According to the below link it's ~£33k but I'm sure I recall C2C recruiting depot drivers at significantly less? http://www.traindriver.org/train-operating-companies-depots--contact-details.html Thanks in...
