    (Big) Potential Career Change

    They are going through the process as far as I know and you just need to sit tight and see if you will be called up next. They are apparently sifting in order of application result. I know someone who was just called up for assessment this week.

    TPE Trainee Train Drivers - Manchester & York (21/09/21)

    I've passed the assessments and awaiting the result of the MMI. Does anyone who has been successful with TPE know the specifics about relocating? When do they ask, what are the timeframes etc. I'm within the hour at certain times of the day but it's traffic dependent and can fall outside of...
