    Trainee Train Driver - London Paddington

    Nope. Guess it will be quite a while before we do now. I know a few First Group companies have started to freeze recruitment, wouldn't be surprised if GWR have aswell in light of the virus situation.

    Rail operator GB freight

    Not what I was told when I joined GB regarding rest day working. You had to state you wasn't available for rest day working otherwise they was entitled to make you work a rest day if you hadn't said you was unavailable.

    Freightliner Various Trainee Drivers

    Has anyone who applied to the trainee driver positions last month heard back from their VSE and M7 test results? I've passed the Pyschrometric tests earlier this year. Should i take it as bad news that 4 weeks on I still haven't heard back whether I passed the VSE and M& SJT?

    GWR driver assessment result

    Got an email first thing this morning with them saying they're pleased to advise that I have completed the first stage of the assessment and saying I'll be contacted in due course for stage 2. Is stage 2 the MMI or DMI? I did all tests bar the MMI yesterday.

    dB apprenticeship trainee drivers

    Not sure about the validity after 5 years. I do know employers generally dont care about them and are more interested in your skills etc. I've only ever been asked once for proof of my degree as well

    Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway Diesel Gala

    47192 will be stored out the way in Princes Risborough due to Crewe Heritage centre not being able to supply a rep which is a shame as it'd have been the first 47 on the Chinnor branch since 1990. So I guess that the next 47 on our branch will be 771 in a year or twos time. Regarding the 66...
