Remind me which members of the management of NXEA were dutch? Oh sorry,none. And only 2 out of 8 are NXEA old management. Hardly the same old management team !!!! And many fare paying customers are happy, I have spoken to as many are as happy as you have who are grumblers. And yes...

Back to the argument, 8 years against 3 months!! It's like any change of management, it takes an eternity to make the changes. It is the same in any industry, business, anywhere. Trying to change 8 years of rubbish can not be resolved in 3 months. You could find 100 people who think the...

Is there a name to contact at the bottom. If so the generic e-mail address would be first name.surname@greateranglia.co.uk eg john.smith@greateranglia.co.uk

Ah, finally you get it and hit the nail on the head. The whole system is flawed, not just the company. DfFT - Department for Failed Transport

Real World yet again. NXEA had 8.5 years to run the railway (formally as ONE before changing the name to NXEA rather than the company as everyone got confused, not the company.) And they still made a a pigs ear of it. After all that time. Now that is incompetence. Now let me see, 3...

H18 refers to Hidden 18, the regulations that govern Driver's hours. On the 12th December 1988 3 trains collided outside Clapham Junction. Anthony Hidden QC investigated on behalf of the government and came up with 93 recommendations!! Number 18 refers to driver's overtime, requiring it...

As I said before mate, find another way to travel if you are that unhappy but get into the real world. Also a passenger regularly and couldn't be more impressed with the service.

The structured interview basically looks at your behaviur and how you have reacted to situations in the past will indicate how you would indicate to similar situtations in the future. The driver manager's interview will be about you as a person and whether you will fit into Greater Anglia...

Ginger you do speak tosh. If it is so bad why not get the bus or car. You can always do something about it. I thought Greater Anglia handled it well. Regular updates and at the end of the day no one can be blamed for the signals failing. What do you want them to do on a 2 road railway...

Have to agree. I sat on one of them the other day and it was very clean, spcaious, airy and looked good. Unfortunately why would a company spend millions on the service that they may not get in 24 months. If they get the 15 years then I reckon we will see new stock and bog improvements...

Hi David, Expect to be at the acadmey for assessment until at least 1 / 2 o'clock in the afternoon. There is quite a bit of waiting about. Even longer if the machines are playing up. Structured interviews are on another day and usually the driver manager interviews on another day after...

When I went for the assessment day last year in January with NXEA it was people who had applied for different depots. They did not assess all those who wanted Bishop Stortford then all those who wanted Cambridge etc. It was a mix. So don;t resd too much into that. But maybe they have...

No fault finding test then? Very confusing. The process moves quite quickly. I had my assessment on the 6th January and was offered the job to start on the 17th February. I couldn;t accept the job at that time but all your assessment, interviews stay valid for 2 years. So by chance a...

Well done to those who have passed. Are you sure you need to do mechanical test. I received it when i did the assessment a year ago with NXEA as it was then (before Greater Anglia took over) and I didn't have to do the test in the end. Just Group Bourdon, Trainability test and fault finding...

If you look on Greater Anglia's at the timetables, the ones for the olympics run every 15 minutes

Hi Slick, Is that 4 on 2 off Thanks --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Hi Dave, When I did my assessments they sent through practice materials for the tests that you had to do so at least you attend the assessment day well prepared. The assessment say is not too...

Hi, just seeing whether this message gets through

Thanks for your reply. The salary for the training post is included in the contract. But no indication that when you have qualified the salry goes up or what it is.

Hi Kebo, I passed all the assessments and interviews back in January 2011. I was offered the job but had to turn it down for various reasons. However, I knew that my assessment results remained valid for 2 years. Every few months I e-mailed HR just to ask if any vacancies were coming up...

Just been taken on as a new driver. Can anyone tell me what the salary is on Greater Anglia when you have qualified? And how long does the training last for? Cheers
