Hi Theooboy... please could you send me the software too. Got 1st round of assessments in a few weeks. Cheers!

Same as when I was there last year then! Still hopeful of getting a start date before my time in the talent pool expires in December. Hope you get good news!

Hi! Didn’t attend on the 28th but I am currently in the hold pool with them for a TM role. Just out of curiosity which depot did you apply for and did they mention any potential start dates/courses?

Yeah I did message other day actually to say Derby would also be good for me! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi, just wondered if anyone had any insider info. I was placed into the Train Manager Holding Pool at the end of the year awaiting a position for the Sheffield depot. I have been told I will be kept in the holding pool for 12 months before having to re-apply. Just wondered what the likelyhood...

I know, along with the fact that all our emails never get a response. No I never did my medical. I was told to provide all my details etc so they could add me to the payroll and that was as far as I got. Training guards is the same thing. I know someone who was on the November course and he...

Yeah same here email wise! I noticed Lucy doesn’t put her phone number on her email signature otherwise I would have called! Please keep me posted on what you find out! Nice to have someone else in the same boat to vent with lol. Ah no that’s awful! I’m starting temping next month too, what a...

My mate also got the job and he is in the exact same position as us two. We have sent numerous emails over the last months to both BW and now LH and neither of us ever get a response! I left my old job as well so am completely in limbo! Can’t believe you were offered a course, gutted for you...

Hi mate, I am in the exact same position as yourself and going insane. I applied last April and like you was offered the job at beginning of Oct. Had very limited information and finally told last week I am now in a hold pool. Which depot are you waiting for? I am waiting for Doncaster.

I applied for a TM job with VTEC and was successful and offered a job with them pending a start date. In the meantime I also applied for another TM job with EMT. When I arrived at the assessment day for EMT I explained that I had recently passed all the required tests, however they said these...

Don’t suppose you know anything about Train Manager courses at all? I am currently waiting for a start date for Doncaster but know there was a course at the end of November. Had an email before Christmas to say there had been some changes to the training schedule and that they would be intouch...

I know this thread is for Trainee Drivers but just wondered if anyone knew about start dates for TM’s. I passed all the selection process back at the beginning of Oct for Doncaster and was told by their Talent Team they would let me know about Doncaster positions “ASAP”. Since then I have heard...

EMT is £32,000 after training and VTEC is £35,640. I believe there are more opportunities for overtime at EMT though and better pay for Sunday’s, although I’m not sure this is true?

I have been offered a position as Train Mananger for both VTEC and EMT and I am unsure as to which to take. Does anyone have any experience of working for both and could anyone shed some light on the positives and negatives of either? Thanks!
