Thanks A-driver. I will contact HR but wanted to post on here initially just to get some feedback as I have only been on the waiting list for a relatively short period.
Anyone associated with this thread got any reliable or even speculative info on when the next trainee driver intake for Bedford & Blackfriars is likely to be ?
Thanks
Aviation can be quite unforgiving unless you get a lucky break, however I was surprised to hear that you are disillusioned in the States. I don't know what stage you are at in your career but from what I remember the opportunities to get onto the jets over there is much accelerated compared with...
During a recent interview with a toc, they said they would need to see two years work history for acceptance. Does anyone on here know why this is necessary and whether it pertains to full or part time work?
Thanks
I understand your predicament. I also worked as a Pilot in the States and it is hard if not impossible for companies to look at you seriously when you are not in the same country let alone local. By far your best option, in my opinion, is to come back home and try and obtain work in the railway...
In reference to whether a company would look at your medical documents, I believe they would need your permission before doing so.
I think it is unlikely to be honest. When I had my Aviation medicals with a designated CAA examiner, the doctors had there own criteria in accordance with the...

Hi Folks,
I have my DM interview coming up in a couple weeks and i'm trying to work out how best to prepare. In doing this, I wanted to ask the question if anyone who has recently done theirs came across anything quite unexpected?
Did anyone find that many of the questions in the...
For those that used the S.T.A.R method on the MMI, could anyone tell me whether it is more appropriate to use it during the interview dissection or when writing down answers to questions before going in?
I only ask because looking at the practice materials, the box to answer each of the 6...
To me this was not a job fair. First of all, a job fair generally involves a number of companies recruiting. Then, at the very least, a candidate is given the opportunity to sit down and discuss their CV and show why they would be a good fit for the role - importantly, from a company...
I was just wondering what the general consensus was regarding todays Job Fair at Metrolink?
Curious to know whether I was the only stupid mug to roll up having travelled more than 170 miles (I will be relocating), wearing a pressed suit, CV & numerous certificates in hand and armed with...
Zoomshane, did you sit Stage 2 recently? Was just wondering if you could offer me any feedback from the MMI while its relatively fresh? I've got mine next month. You can PM me if you prefer
Many Thanks ...
