    Scotrail to be brought into the public sector - what happens with recruitment?

    I agree that assessment first makes sense, at least to me anyway. Other safety critical roles are assessment first, jobs like dispatcher. Not sure why this is different. I’m currently based at Central as a TE, like working here, have worked at this depot since I started in the railway. Wouldn’t...

    Scotrail to be brought into the public sector - what happens with recruitment?

    Not really sure the ins and outs of it, some haven’t even heard back regarding their interview. (We had interview first then assessments) Mines is for Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street. Thanks for the good luck wishes. Not feeling confident, not to be dramatic.

    ScotRail Industrial Relations issues (including conductor strike action)

    Interesting developments. I wonder what RMT will do? Hopefully a mutually acceptable decision to end this situation. Will be a weight off of the mind when this is over. 1635355928 Yes. The conditions impacted the Conductor grades more than most and were deemed as not acceptable. The feeling...

    ScotRail Industrial Relations issues (including conductor strike action)

    I am a TE for Scotrail, I read this email yesterday and assumed that the downtime meant my rest days. That's how I've interpreted it. Me being spare isn't downtime. It's working.

    ScotRail Industrial Relations issues (including conductor strike action)

    I don’t actually know, we receive text updates and the line used was: ”I am writing to advise that Abellio Scotrail failed to table a meaningful offer at today’s pay talks. The company made a reckless offer of 2.2% dependent on a raft of unacceptable cuts including booking office closures. This...

    ScotRail Industrial Relations issues (including conductor strike action)

    Yes, because of the conditions attached to the offer. One of which was that booking offices would be cut in the process. Well done to RMT for rejecting this.

    How long do Scotrail take to check references?

    Haha, fair enough @Donhamer Hoping mines won't take quite that long and I can relax about the whole thing.

    How long do Scotrail take to check references?

    I thought it might take that long. Makes me feel a bit uneasy, what if something goes wrong with the whole thing and you've left a secure job that you've been in for years for a conditional offer? ARGH!

    Scotrail/Abellio wait time on jobs.

    As I said, I hope that I am wrong but interviews have started and they haven't invited you to complete the online tests which was around 3/4 weeks ago now. This is the step before interviews. Keep applying mate. I have been trying for years and years myself. Only recently have I gotten past the...

    Scotrail/Abellio wait time on jobs.

    Hi mate, Please don't quote me as definite on this one but I would say that you've probably been unsuccessful unfortunately. They started interviews for this position during the week just there.
