My background is all office based. 10 years in administration working from junior up to senior in a financial based company. I then moved in to customer relations for 2 years within the same company.

I just wanted to express my gratitude to this forum and to all it's members who have contributed with information and knowledge about the train driver assessments and interviews. In September 2014 I decided upon a career change, I wanted to become a train driver despite never having previously...

Thanks Joey :) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- What's the story with people selecting talent pool or DD and is this instead of the actual trainee driver position? Thanks

Thanks again that's most helpful :)

Thanks Airbus that's great advice and much appreciated. What about company info? routes, CEO, history that sort of thing? I actually brushed up on this before the 2nd assessments and wasn't asked a thing :lol: Congratulations on the pass and good luck too :)

I was under the impression he was a chef at a private school........ I got the nod for a DM interview today, am chuffed to bits :D Just need to work out how I'm going to blag the day off as I've only just started my current job and am in training. I have at least been given the option of...

Had and passed the 2nd stage assessments today (GTR) so just waiting on the results of the MMI. Without wanting to sound too negative I think the last question done me in 'experience similar to driving trains' but I'll just have to wait and see. Really pleased to have got this far, now just...

The Leicester result certainly brought a smile to my face :D that was until I saw the Brentford result :roll: Really cant see Liverpool repeating their form from last season, Suarez is irreplaceable and Balotelli is the wrong man IMO. Surprised by the signing and thought Rodgers had better...

Wow these positions were pulled very quickly, hopefully next time I'll get the chance to make an application....... although preferably after I've read up on the valuable threads relating to applications.
