Hi everyone Just received an email saying that I've basically made it into the talent pool And will be kept on hold for up to 24 months I know this is good news but I can't help but feel a bit deflated. Anyone on here that's been in the talent pool have any words of wisdom? Good luck to...

Sorry to hear that sparrow, don't give up... I've got a feeling we won't find out until Monday at least

Hi Cymrulass Yeah it was a really relaxed day actually which was nice. The group activity was good and as you say it's hard to find that balance, but I think we all did well. I'll be over the moon to even get to talent pool. Just a waiting game. I'll keep you posted, good luck and fingers...

There was 5 of us so not as many as yours. Yes you're right nothing more we can do now!

Hi Lynette. Had mine today at 9am. I wasn't expecting the SCAAT to be paper form and shapes instead of numbers but thankfully got through it. I found the interview bit okay. The panel were lovely and really put me at ease which was great. They said the same thing to us re: over 1000...

Hi everyone Got my assessment tomorrow morning so just cramming as much in as possible. For the interview bit I'm focusing on lone working, team working, dealing with an emergency, the conductor role and a bit about the company. I'll also be conscious of how I come across on the day too. If...

Sounds like it will be nearer 19th then too me, I was thinking whoever gets it needs references and pre employment checks done and from past experience they can take ages. I should have asked some questions in hindsight.. Yes, I'm also in Wednesday! See you then, and good luck!

Hi Cymrulass Thank you, sorry for the late response but I've been on nights then my sister got married Friday. With regards to 19th March, did they tell it that was the date? The original email I had said 5th March Kind regards Lewis

Ah Tuesday no worries! That would be great thanks! Fingers crossed for you.

Hi Spikeylado Firstly, thank you for creating this thread! On the email I received it only says a verification test of the online miniSCAAT, which I'm guessing will be identical to what we've already done? Cheers

Congratulations Lynette that's fantastic news. I also applied for Cardiff valley lines, I'm hoping there are more positions than just the one! Although if I made the talent pool I'd still be grateful I'm sure we'll see each other next week All the best, Lewis

Hello everyone Had my email around 10am, got the assessment a week today 24th January Thank you all for the support you've given so far And good luck to others still waiting!

Oh I see! They didn’t tell me there was 2. I’m always hard on myself after interviews so I can never tell how well I did. I suppose no news is good news (I hope)

You had two people? I had one but can’t remember her name I was the same, I would say the content of my answers wasn’t bad but could have been better. But as I was nervous so I spoke a bit faster than I normally would She told me I’d find out the end of the week, going to be a tense couple of...

Just had mine For whatever reason I was a lot more nervous than I thought I’d be But it’s done now Good luck everyone.

Hi Lynette I'm currently doing the same, I'm mainly focusing on company history, routes (basic) and current performance etc. Then about the job role and customer service questions I can't imagine there'll be too much more in 15 minutes!

Cymrulass You probably already know but thought I'd mention you have to confirm your availability for the telephone interview by replying to the email by friday. Good luck! Lscymru

Thank you. I'm going to try not to over think it and just read up about the company and the role. It says the interview will be 15 minutes long so I can't imagine they'll ask too much

Congratulations Cymrulass! Just had my email too, got mine the 16th also between 11am-12pm

Hi everyone, Been a busy day but finally managed to complete the general ability test around half 2 this afternoon. In the end it turned out that outlook decided to block all emails from SHL (the company operating the test) so it wasn't getting through to me. Also when I finally managed to...
