Has this been reported as fact? Sources? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I was told after the DMI interview to expect to wait a couple of weeks at least. They expected to be interviewing for another 2 weeks. I thought the next step was reaction test then SJI/MMI, before any...

:lol: But not if it's a square one!!!

My assessment was 11th nov. Out of around 15 applicants, 2 were female.

Are you internal or external Andersonian? Only wondering if they process differently depending on this. I'm internal and got the call quickly after assessment. If you have a phone number it may be quicker calling for info than waiting for email reply.

During my call from recruitment I was advised/encouraged to visit the locations I've applied for. Seems logical that you'll be asked some sort of questions about them. As i said previously I'm wondering how much detail to look into. Sets/routes/staff numbers/SOW hours....you could go bananas on...

Thanks Andersonian. I got a call from the recruitment team. When did you pass your assessment ie how long you been waiting to be told your interview date? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Good advice. Had planned to do just that. Is it worthwile checking out which types of sets...

1st stage of assessments done yesterday. Received email about 2hrs after to say I'd passed. Call today to confirm date for interview with DTMs on 1st Dec. I think the DTMs are gonna be sick of the calls from applicants wanting some info on their locations. :?

In a word, yes. My understanding is that a vacancy can be advertised internally first. If nobody is accepted for it then it will be advertised externally. I can't say for sure this happens with all vacancies. But the bottom line is, if you are 'in the door' already, you will have 1st crack at...

You need several posts (5 i think) under your belt before you can PM. If you're meaning Yoker depot, it has a decent sized car park.

A question to anybody who has done the 1st part of the assessment. Was GBT part of it or was it SCAAT? I have paractised both just to keep the old grey matter sharp and its my understanding that on the day it will be GBT.

Hi, I usually find with this type of thing there's something in the question that indicates the way the answer should go. Have a careful look at the questions again in case you've glanced over some detail (easily done)that makes an answer more obvious. There is the chance though that the...

My employer and Im sure many other TOCs advertise much of their vacancies internally first, and if its successfully filled then it won't go external at all. So for this reason alone I'd suggest that getting any job within the railway would give you access to vacancies that you otherwise won't be...

I would assume if the only location(s) you applied for are on this list then its not good news. If you applied for multiple locations and any of them are NOT included in the list then you're still in with a shout for those.

Although I know vacancies are sometimes advertised internally first, that's a huge conclusion you're jumping to in terms of internal being prioritised over external applications. Do you have specific experience of this? It sounds more rumour mill than factual. If any candidate had a poor pass...

When i recieved notification that i had progressed to the 1st (written)part of the assessment it was by email, and yes, it was from the same recruitment email address that confirmed reciept of my applications. Hope this helps.

I've noticed a variety of timescales for internal and external applications recieving replys (be it good or bad news) so I wouldn't give up hope yet. There was a lot of applications so it's bound to take time.

There will still be 100 trainee drivers even if qualified drivers are looking for transfers. I think what skinnydave was getting at was that current drivers might take the opportunity to move location given that a trainee position can be allocated anywhere. I doubt that there are specific...

Hi, was wondering if your application was internal or external. I applied internally for several locations as i was within distance for them. I recieved notification of progressing to the assessment stage but it doesn't state which location it relates too. I assume unless i progress further...
