    Greater Anglia - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    I found out within 2 days that I had passed my MMI, however, as previously stated, it then also was followed up by the information regarding trainee depot driver due to internal process changes. That being said, having responded, I haven't heard anything since.

    Greater Anglia - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    Unfortunately the railway isn’t your typical industry. Patience is one of the greatest values you can possess trying to get in, especially into a drivers role… if you’re lucky, months, worst case, years. My condolences for the loss of your son

    Depot to Mainline only in the future?

    This is actually an interesting point, which I would also be curious to find out if they are doing the same at GA.

    Passed Stage 1 & 2 now, but the revelation email regarding the new progression requirement from Depot driver to Mainline driver came about 5 minutes post Stage 2 confirmation email. I kept seeing so much about Cambridge not having depot drivers, that I am not entirely sure what to expect. Are...

    Greater Anglia - Trainee Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    Just a heads up for anyone going for the trainee train driver roles, recent changes to GA’s recruitment process means you must now start as a depot driver and then you will be considered for a mainline role when one becomes available.
