    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    IF it helps, I have heard that there will be no more trainees this year. There are far to many sitting around doing nothing at moment. If you are serious about working for fgw then sit it out and wait to hear back. I would say possibly in the new year now before you hear anything. But I know...

    Morning, When I had my dm interview I made sure I knew just as much about fgw as I did about first group themselves so I would say 50/50 other people might have different opinions but from my experience that paid off for me. Regards Kyle

    Yes good luck to you as well, I'm currently awaiting a medical for trainee driver position which are accepting my original assessments and i don't really want to take the chance on the new ones if i do not need to as much as toton would be perfect for me as its 3 miles from my parents in nottingham.

    DB Schenker - Trainee Driver and Trainee Driver Operator ( Various Locations)

    I had a phone call from DBS on tuesday saying they want to progress my application but they require me to do the new tests. So they said to ring back in the new year to say whether i want to take the new tests as it will make my current tests invalid.
