    GWR Train manager recruitment

    look at how things have suddenly changed thanks to Covid! It’s surreal. I did the face to face interview in October. Didn’t hear from them until recently in June where they emailed asking if I was still interested in staying in the recruitment process. I said yes and they haven’t gotten back to...

    GWR Train manager recruitment

    I did my assessment in mid-October and it’s been about 3 weeks. The last update I got was finding out I’d passed the first assessment on the day I took it, and a message about being contacted about the next stage if I was “shortlisted”. I’ve not received any updates for the past 3 weeks -...

    Also @TM Hopeful I just realised you actually got the TM job! That’s fantastic. I’ve noticed a few people have said they got the TM job (that too for Paddington) so does that mean there are quite a few openings? Did they mention anything about spaces to you, such as how many people they’re...

    Thanks for your detailed message - really helpful info here! I thought I’d be asked other customer service related questions but it looks like I just need to practice my paper techniques! And I’ve got my suit sorted too. Thanks for your help and good luck to you :)

    Oh wow I wasn’t expecting it to be a “wear a three piece suit” scenario but you’re the second person to tell me they wore one! Were most people dressed in suits on the first assessment too? Just out of interest. Thanks for your fast response :)

    Can anyone advise me on the dress code? Should I be suited and booted up or is a smart shirt, trousers and shoes enough? Thanks!

    GWR Train manager recruitment

    Hi, I applied for TM (Paddington) in August and just found out that I’ve been invited to Swindon for an assessment day. They’ve sent me some practice papers that I’ll go through today. Can anyone give me a brief outline of what to expect on the day? I’m really nervous as getting this job would...
