I’m Thamesport (was Tilbury but they asked me to go for Thamesport instead) it seems like it’s for HH as the email from Freightliner was specifically from the HH department and I’ve got my medical on Monday.

Hey Mike! Have you not had a medical date yet? Yeah but they asked me to consider thamesport so I assumed that’s why it’s moved faster. I’m curious about this hotel/hire car stuff as I haven’t really been told much else...

Is that Freightliner are providing a hotel and hire car for the duration of the training? Sorry I haven’t been keeping up with the forum much. Got my medical on Monday hoping things are moving now...

I was thinking the same thing! Grrrr lol

Microsuction sounds fun...

I applied for Tilbury/Thamesport and did not receive the email... Still awaiting a medical date.

They are just unhappy with the way they are being treated by Arriva. I know they’re all currently being monitored on dwell times and Aslef had to get involved. Also on the Gospel Oak to Barking line they’re short of trains as our new stock was not tested in time by Bombardier which means a heap...

In regards to the lack of drivers, since Arriva took over a lot of the drivers are u happy with the company itself and have moved to other TOCS

Arriva rail 100% tests to enhanced standards Anyone already in a pool be advised that Arriva make you sit the VSE in house rather than online like you may have done with any other TOC/FOC

Your welcome

Well I’m aware that MTR, Arriva and Freightliner all use these exact questions, not too sure about the other TOCs.

Had a call from them today in regards to considering Thamesport instead of Tilbury. Seems like the courses for Tilbury are not going to be for a long time whereas Thamesport starts in Feb. Will be travelling a bit further but thought hey ho let’s just go for it so I can get started ASAP.

No problem! They are the exact questions

I think so! I am rather impatient lol

Me too the waiting is the horrible part! I wouldn’t mind if they sent us for our medicals and do CRB now just to get things moving a bit...

Hahahah! How long have you been in the pool for now?

Ahhhh hoping I’m not going to be waiting too long then! Though I haven’t had a date for medical yet!

Here you are...

How long roughly were you waiting in the pool for?

Have you seen the questions?
