Avanti seems about right , they posted on LinkedIn about needing 40 this year and that they already had a recruitment campaign for the first ten. Although I don't know the mix of trainee and qualified.

I wonder when the driver assessments for CrossCountry will be taking place?

Assuming once the sift is complete, they will start sending out invites to assessments etc. Probably within the next 3 weeks according to the email they sent out.

Standard pass.
And no, only testing at a testing centre goes as a strike if you fail.

The automated email said allow 2 weeks to hear back if you've made it through the sift, that would be another week from now for me

Not heard a thing, from this year or last! I’m not expecting anything. I wonder if, with being on the DB recruitment system, if you have progressed with one DB application whether in nullifies other applications??lol yea

I have an assessment coming up for an operative role soon so I hope not!
You cant put all your eggs in one basket so I hope the recruitment team doesnt see it that way

Did you receive the acknowledgment email? I haven’t received anything but my application says in process. Am I to assume that because haven’t received email I haven’t made it past the screening.
Anyone from last years not receive first email get the tests through?

Just going by the previous confirmation emails. I had an email last Monday that they needed 2 weeks to process and review applications. This was a follow up from an email 2 weeks previous that said it could take 2 to 4 weeks. So far I would say they're on track, even if their correspondence to applicants isn't the most consistent!

I received a email, like many others on Monday 31st, stating that it would be another two weeks to find out

Yes!
Well... it appeared that there was already a sort of mini sift through applications because some people were already told they didn't get the role. This was before they sent the rest of us the email saying 2 - 4 weeks. I am guessing before it was like an auto sift. The applications that made it through the auto sift, are probably being looked over manually.
Just a guess, but hey ho! good luck to all

I’m hoping I get good news because I did a Princes Trust Get Into Transport Services course with CrossCountry Trains in Birmingham in September 2021 and this was their very first course so I’m hoping in more of a chance.Yes!

I’m from Birmingham but applied for Derby as there was no vacancies for Birmingham. What depot did you apply for?

Nice! I applied for Leicester
I think the website has been updated now and it should show all applications as there respected job titles now.
