Thanks for this mate, much appreciated! That’s giving some of us some hope! I only applied this month with ARL

Does anyone know which ones of these TOC’s are currently recruiting trainees? I’ll be looking into each of them shortly but to save time if anyone know of any from top of their head then please mention. Thanks

Once you qualify as a shunted driver and wanted to move to mainline driver, is there any further tests to do or Do shutter driver count as qualified train drivers?

Lol no I meant first choice and last choice which is what I did

Agreed! just gonna have to try something different next time.. hopefully get some good news from ARL or GA

Ohh, well that is what I exactly did picked 1st and 4th! Wonder where I went wrong lol

I think I know where I made the mistake! When picking most likely and least likely do they mean pick the first and second choice or first and fourth choice? I might have mistaken “least likely“ as fourth choice ‍♂️ Should have read the instructions lol

Yeah were very tricky compared to GA SJT,

Was it same questions? Goodluck mate!

Just got this dreaded email within two days of applying Thank you for your application for the role of Trainee Train Driver Salisbury, referencexxxx with FirstGroup. We really appreciate the time you have taken and commitment to completing our online application process. Unfortunately on this...

Ah I see, do they take long for next stage just like other TOCs?

Someone received the “unfortunate” email when they failed the SJT, I guess if I don’t hear from them by end of the week then it’s hopefully a good news

This was part of the email: Please note if you are applying for a Trainee Train Driver position and pass this assessment, you will receive another email shortly after completion inviting you to take part in a second assessment.

Applied last night for Salisbury depot, completed the SJT straightaway and in the email it was stated that for trainee role you will be invited to second assessment shortly if you pass the first but haven’t been invited for second one yet.. have you not heard anything at all since completing SJT...

It was originally supposed to close on 20th then they extended to 27th

Thanks mate, need to have a lot of patience with TOCs recruitment process I guess haha

Ah I see, I’ve applied with GA back in June still no response after the SJT and with this one no response yet but I’ll stay hopeful if it’s taken them 4 months to get back to you

Has ARL got back to anyone that applied?

Ah I see, was thinking it has to be before they offer the job

So what do people do when they’re in holding pool? If they’ve already left their previous job once started as a trainee.. or is the holding pool before you start driving hours?
