Yeah mate I heard straight away about my failure and my computer played up on application. So I don’t know was it recorded right. I am scratching my head mate to be honest and with my background I can’t see how I have failed is it worth an email ?

I suppose no news is good news mate, so good luck with your application. I would love to know what others put if they are successful so i can form some sort of feedback. Because at the mo I’m sort of at a loss as to why I failed. Maybe an easy explanation.

Hi guys, well hopefully I’m not first of many but I failed the sjt. I have to be honest though it’s the first one I have ever done. And in any online practice tests I have got them all right.im pretty much gobsmacked lol, and due to working in the fire service and, previous to that a 10 year...

It seems to be trending that emergency services are making moves to train driving. A few of my friends have already joined and I’m making the move now, hence why this is my first application into becoming a trainee train driver with WMT. I’ve done 20 years and fed up with the lack of a pay rise...

Really, then I have no idea mate how they work at all. Especially Wmt. Could be a long wait then for successful applicants. There are other factors like retirements and transfers that may be happening in the near future which are on the radar.

I’d imagine that the talent pool running low otherwise they would not be recruiting !!

My date for expiry was the 22/02 also mate of mine who works for wmt says “good time to be applying because place is running on overtime “. Good luck all.

Thank you mate much appreciated good luck also.

Bit scared to open link on the online sjt test. Due to being at work till tomorrow morning , and could get called out at anytime. When I click through links it gets to Abellio talent screener it says 30 minutes test and underneath 30 minutes time remaining. Is that what all of you have had...

Thanks my friend, a mate of mine just text me and said he spoke to them earlier and said it was timed. So I’ll think I’ll wait just incase. I’d love to know if I can open and go back. But not worth the risk especially when West mids said to him it’s timed !!Thanks again

Hi Guys, i have submitted my application to Birmingham yesterday, late last night, but not received any information or links from them regarding the sjt online test. will this come through in time. If i log in to application it just states under consideration ?

Thanks mate

Ok thank you for your help on this

Thanks for that. Not really looked at freight so is it just freight liner near here then or are there others ?

Hi Guys, Very interested in becoming a train driver. I have registered email alerts for GWR, (first group) West Midlands trains (Abellio) crosscountry (dB) and Chiltern Rail. Those are the ones I’m hoping recruit soon because I live in Kidderminster , Worcestershire about 40 minutes from...

Thanks mate.

Hi Guys Do West Midlands trains recruit train drivers once a year, or can the gap in time be longer in general. I keep checking. They last recruited May 18. Or do TOC’s generally recruit as and when and the gap between can be really long.
