Hi guys/gals, I tend to keep an eye on the EMR website and noticed that a bunch of internal job postings have come up today, including for trainee drivers: https://jobs.eastmidlandsrailway.co.uk/vacancy.aspx?ref=2019-325. Do TOCs tend to put things out internally first and then externally if...

Not yet, I’m guessing we should hear by Friday.

Isn’t labelling non-striking workers ‘scabs’ a form of bullying? I can understand the differing viewpoints and and why union members might feel frustrated but does that justify name-calling and ostracism?

Out of interest, how many on the railways are not members of any union? Do they tend to be ostracised for not being a union member? Are they labelled ‘scabs’ when the union members strike and they don’t? I’m just asking out of interest. I’m trying to get a job on the railways but I’ve never...

Congratulations! Was that for Kettering or elsewhere?

5-10 days after 17th November (the application closing date).

I just laughed out loud in McDonald’s. This forum needs like buttons :D

ROFL!!

Abstracting electricity is an indictable offence therefore the ‘any person’ power of arrest (S.24A PACE) is available to use until a constable arrives to take custody of you. The railway byelaws are all triable summarily-only therefore the ‘any person’ power of arrest does not apply, hence that...

Obviously, if it is made clear that the sockets are for public use then you would have ‘due authority’ and wouldn’t commit the offence.

Congratulations to those of you who were successful! I was knocked out at the video interview stage but I still hope to land a role with EMR in the future.

Is the DFFT the cables and gauges exercise?

I have been invited for the 19th, although a I have only recently passed these tests during an application for EMT, so I need to check whether I need to attend.

I obviously don’t know how it is scored but I prioritised my answers: 1/ Rules 2/ Safety 3/ Everything else 1 & 2 are quite close, but I figured most rules exist for safety reasons.

Sorry to hear that Tricky. I recently failed a video interview with EMT. Another opportunity will come around soon enough, best of luck for when it does.

Yes, I got a few different attachments.

I think i did enough to pass. It’s the situational judgement that’s hardest to gauge. No, you get told later whether you have passed.

Hey guys, just did my VSE and Situational Judgement tests. Good luck everyone.

I had an email from them just this week regarding a different role in which they told me that they don’t accept relocation applications:/
