I applied May 2018 and when I had my final interview in May 2019, I was informed that over 20000 had applied although they never said how many positions there were on that particular recruitment drive.

There is an article in yesterday's Herald, apparently 4500 people have applied for 116 trainee jobs. I would of excepted a far greater number of applicants.

I would think all TOCs would work the same, risk assess and you would have no choice in the matter. However, that is only my view and management or human resources would be better placed to answer that. It is likely your company has an SOP on the matter and that would set everything out.

Certainly at my TOC, when a female driver becomes pregnant, she is put onto restrictive duties, ie office based. Think in your scenario, it would be similar to trainees during the early covid times. Once you return to work, you will pick up where you left off more or less

Likewise, me also. I then had a stage roughly every month.

They usually get anywhere around 20000 when it's a national recruitment advert rather then depot specific. The sift is initially done by computer, A1 punctuation and numerous buzz words are the order of they day. Its only after this initial sift are applications read and invites sent out for...

Go to page 5. There is a discussion titled scotrail trainee drivers. This contains everything you a looking for.

Yes, no issue staying in Kirkcaldy and applying for any of these 2 depots. Further to this Levenmouth to have a depot from early 2025. The initial training school is for around 3 months in Glasgow. You are provided with a train pass to get you there and back on a daily basis. You then do a...

The OP works in Scotland. Don't think Boris has any jurisdiction over this.

In ScotRail we do the same shift pattern.

Firefighter then?

With the lastest pay rise, pay levels are as follows:- Trainee train driver £29,903 New driver £41,567 New driver after 6 months £44,394 New driver after 9 months £47,697 Driver £52,633 Depot driver year 1 £31,635 Depot driver year 2 £32,360. These figures exclude Sunday working.

There is one scheduled to start in October.

My understanding is that there would be no new process this year but they would continue with ones already in the process from the pre covid era.

Apologies, my mistake, for some reason I had it in my head that we were talking about the dot test. I found top to bottom the easiest method as you simply scan down the symbols in no time.

I'm not too sure if you can actually do it top to bottom. As well as getting marked on mistakes it was my understanding that you get marked on completed rows also, not completed columns.

God that it grim. What is behind that? With the covid testing measures in place this will hopefully detect the virus soonest, mitigating the consequences, plus with everyone mid 40's and above now having been vaccinated, I thought this would alleviate the concerns DI's/trainees had.

I'm in the east. At my depot all DI's have returned and a couple of new additional trained ones. Most of the trainees are back with the others starting back next month.

Pension is also calculated on final salary and not career average earnings like a number of work pensions have now moved to.
