Sirgerbil, is the Wellbeing Building on the corner of Grays Inn Road and Acton St? There isn't a place called Leon which the building is meant to be next to. Only Leon I can find is right next to the actual station. Can you confirm where you had your medical
Thanks for the info as I finally got an email back from Becky confirming that there are a few dates for me to choose from once medical is sorted. What a relief that my holiday won't be ruined!
I've tried ringing Becky numerous times but to no avail. Sent her an email on Monday to which I got an automated reply. So have just sent her another email as I have a holiday booked in May so wanted to find out if I'm able to go or not. If the planned start dates clash then so be it but need to...
Hi all
Has anyone had their medical yet? What is the process after that?
I've been invited for my medical next week and was wondering how long the process after that will be in order for them to confirm a start date. I've tried to contact Becky but can understand she's extremely busy with...
What were the date options if you don't mind sharing? Got a holiday booked in May and still can't get hold of the recruitment person so wanted to know what's the possible start date after medical etc
I attended the London group assessments on 17th and got the email yesterday that I've been successful. I didn't feel that I did that great in the 3 exercises but guess I must have said and one things they were looking for. I've passed the tests with another TOC so hopefully won't have to do them...
Hi Beany
Thanks for the info and the vote of confidence. I do have the questions they hopefully will ask and I have been preparing for them but didn't want any huge surprises hence why I asked. I'm pleased for those who have made it as I know how long the process takes so not too frustrated as...
Still waiting for my MMI and DMI, any info you guys could help with bith that will give us some insight into what they are expecting/looking for or what questions they ask would be much appreciated. Congrats for making it through everyone
Congrats to everyone who has passed their MMI and DMI. You guy must be ecstatic.
I passed the Assessment stage in November and just waiting for date for MMI which is frustrating but spoke to someone this week who says they haven't got any info of when it will be but will notify me when it does...
Congrats Beany. I also got invited to do the assessment for Virgin Trains this week but yet to hear about MMI for GWR. I'm hearing that Vjrgin offer more money. Does anyone know the process for applying for 2 TOCs at the same time? Do your results just transfer over to the other company if...
I don't my assessments on Wednesday and got the email confirming I have passed today. It was my second attempt having failed my first try with MTR Crossrail. It was a relief to finally pass it and the ladies doing the assessments have confirmed that there are more posts available soon at...
I got the email today and will be attending the assessment centre on 2nd November. As I failed last time on the 2 hand coordination, I think that's all I have to take but will be doing all the practice questions just as a refresher. I'm quite excited about being in the process again and hope we...
I've not heard anything since their confirmation of passing telephone interview. I was tempted to give them a call to see what's happening but thought otherwise as I guess being patient and they will surely get round to organising next stage for those that have passed. I assume there were...
Yes Beany my email said that. That's sounds a bit uncertain so don't really know how to take that. Hopefully we are in the bracket and are called fairly soon.
I had my telephone interview with GWR this morning and even though I was told I would receive an email within 4 weeks to find out if I have been success. I got an email through stating that I've been successful and will be invited to the assessment process. Having failed on my last test before...
Thanks for that info and link. I try to check all the TOC that I know of in London every 3-4 days to try and stay ahead as I know the vacancies are like gold dust but only really knew about the popular TOC.
Hi All
Does anyone know of any trainee train driver roles in London that I could apply for? I'm keen to become a train driver and applied for the MTR Crossrail last year but failed the 2 hand coordination test. I've been searching the net for various roles and seem to either miss them or just...
