There is an internal school starting in February 2014 as far as I am aware, I would presume that the external people would either be with or in front of that.

Classroom stuff possibly on LOROL facilities in north London. Good luck to all who apply!

Anyone applied for this?
The last day to apply is today and when you go on the site it is an application that you download and print off. The notes confirm that your application needs to be with them today (15/08/13) so unless they accept faxed or e-mailed applications it is too late. A quick call to there HR dept would clarify this.

Having just checked the Chiltern site again it does actually say you can e-mail your application across.

Application submitted via email.

Their form was poorly formatted - sections going over the page - hasn't the creator hear of page breaks ?

No confirmation email to say they've got it though.

Good luck to all who applied.

Can you please quote the correct email, when I tried to copy and paste from the website it didn't work, and when you hover over the address it doesn't match!

Thanks!

Will call the recruitment team tomorrow and let them know that the 'copy email address' on the hyperlink is different to the hyperlink text.

I presume the email address recruitment@chilterrailways.co.uk is NOT correct and that the right one is recruitment@chilter[B]n[/B]railways.co.uk

I sent mine to the previous first, but have now sent it to the other one. I'm still waiting for the automatic reply though.

Hopefully the deadline is midnight no close of play

Did you get the reply that the message could not be delivered?

I've had no reply from either

Be it a successful receipt of the message nor a delivery failure

Perhaps that's the first stage of assessment, to see who copies the email address and who clicks the hyperlink and spots the error :)

Did you submit your application today ? How long before you got the autoreply ?

I haven't got anything back from either address.

I've tried again, still getting the response that action has failed. Guess I'll have to try again later and then call in the morning.

Have you read the posts above regarding the email address?

Getting emails telling me that the system is still trying to deliver my message to Chiltern. I was able to speak to someone at Chiltern and they were very helpful. I think the volume of email traffic didn't help.

The reason is in above posts - the email address was incorrect!

Thanks for the info.

Did you email the recruitment team asking for an update or was it some sort of auto response ?

Anyone heard anything? Seems to have gone a bit quiet!
I have not heard anything yet, though I know they have my application as I contacted them when I submitted it due to problems with submission as per previous posts. Hopefully should hear early next week as an earlier post said they advised that should expect a reply around a month after submission.
