    SE Driver assessment policy

    For info I had passed everything with GTR test wise and SE contacted me and accepted that but I had to go and do the MMI with them which I got through ok. Don't know if that is similar to you Hugh, gutted for you but I am sure you will pass with no problem at all.

    Trainee Drivers - Victoria & Charing Cross

    I have spoken to the HR at SE and the 5 mile radius is correct, not sure why the date has changed.
  14. M

    Success 2nd time around.

    I Have had no feedback, I have read previous posts and I don't think GTR are all that good at giving feedback, I have emailed the HR so hopefully may hear soon. I hope I didn't sound too cocky in my original post I wasn't over confident I just thought it went well but clearly it didn't.

    Trainee Driver Vacancy - Thameslink

    I've read so many different threads. Can someone clarify. It's only the interview stage I'm enquiring about: I have been unsuccessful first time so if I am unsuccessful again - with GTR - does that mean I have lost any chances with any other TOC?

    Trainee Driver Vacancy - Thameslink

    Hi had what seemed like the perfect interview, told I fitted the criteria perfectly, said all the right words and answered all the questions about the company. But got the unsuccessful email today. Any ideas where I go from here? Be brutally honest - what are my chances in 6 months? Without...

    Trainee Driver Vacancy - Thameslink

    Thanks Dave999, what a random question to ask, I suppose it was about the safety aspect of how you do it and not being the next Hamilton.
