    Hi, I felt my interview went well yesterday even if it was a bit of a grilling! I've just seen on here that another lad who was there yesterday had an e mail today saying he passed and I haven't heard anything so I'm not getting my hopes up now. How did you find it?

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    I was also offered the 21/22/23 in Swindon for my stage 2. When I went on to my profiile to book it, the link for my stage 1 was still on there, aswell as the new link for stage 2. Is there a chance you have clicked the link for stage 1 by mistake??

    Written communication tests

    I think the idea of the test is that you get down the relevant points and as long as someone could read it and understand what you are saying I don't think you need to worry to much about the spelling. My handwriting is far from neat but I passed it.

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    No I still haven't heard anything about stage 2, I think maybe you're right about them waiting for the rest of the stage 1's to finish, would be nice to know soon though.

    Written communication tests

    A series of pictures which show a scenario. The scenario explains the situation in simple terms and all you have to do is write a brief report as if you were writing it to your manager about what happened in the scenario. It's really simple and you just need to make sure you get the relevant...

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    Is here anyone else on here that had their telephone interviews last week and has still not heard back? They told me I would be hearing back within a week and it's now been over that. A bit worrying that a few of you heard back on the very same day saying you had been successful!

    Application Problems - HELP!

    I had the same issue. I was trying to do it on my laptop which runs mozilla, so I signed in again on another laptop which was running internet explorer and it worked fine. Also make sure you have a good internet connection. Hope this helps.

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    We'll done to those of you that got the all clear from your telephone interviews so quickly! Had mine yesterday afternoon but heard nothing back yet which probably isn't a good sign! Fingers crossed though.

    Southern recruiting trainee drivers again

    Had the thanks but no thanks e-mail today aswell, no idea why I didn't get in but like someone said this company are strict on their 1 hour commute rule and I live in Norfolk so maybe that's why?? On a brighter note I've passed the application stage with FGW even though I only applied on Monday...
