congrats! Welcome to the team ;-D

they interviewed 12 yesterday

For anyone that has applied for Manchester... they are taking 8 trainees for Manchester Piccadilly over this year.

just got to keep going for it. Remain positive

It’s true in my case haha...

bet they tolerate you tbf.

I agree, you are very arrogant. Fact is they have stipulated they want people with experience at this time. They probably will open it up at a later date. And with the comment ‘buzz buzz on the buzzer’, just proves how little you know about the rail industry outside of ur bubble. Highly...

I ain’t a fan of xc having worked for them for 6 years previously... but it does make sense to limit applications to people within the railway. They have a proven track record of things like shift work, safety elements and know their industry like the back of their hands. If it bothers you get a...

Good luck to you guys going for the tests. Maybe you’ll be joining me soon :)

I did press reply before I read the next message tbh yes. We are all equally important, maybe your son should start out as something else. I am sure he will be driving at some point! I started out as a trolley dolly myself...

well said mate... and i am a train driver

I get that it’s their policy. But to me I find the place very unfriendly. I hated my time there in that building. Couldn’t wait to get out lol.

this is 100% accurate. But like others have said above, stop worrying about the salary and concentrate on other aspects to getting this job.

just relax, tbh I wouldn’t email them about stuff like that. It’s just going to annoy them.

why would you be soo cruel lol.

having been in the same situation earlier in the year I know the answer to this! Yes anything you do will overwrite the previous scores. It’s worth it tho! U have passed it before and you will pass it again! Go for it!

I always found xc recruitment a bit weird. They put a lot of emphasis on a group exercise and if your a loud mouth you usually go through. To me it’s a terrible way of sifting people before interview.

Ahh I see, well as of 2019 it’s 2 years pal.

I can tell you with certainty it’s 2 years max.

It’s long process from start to finish... but having done it myself and got the job at Tpe at the start of this year I can honestly tell you it’s worth the effort! Make sure you fully prepare for every stage! That’s the key.
