CrossCountry - Apprentice Train Driver - Recruitment Discussion

[silexa]

Same unfortunately, i got a no but was half expecting it, as didnt finish it all and was distracted part way through. In all honesty I live close to an hours drive from the depot, so not sure how feasible it would have been. Passed all tests and MMI with another TOC but failed final stage DMI earlier in year. Hoping that depot readvertise next year, so will go back to final stage, if application up it scratch, as only 15 mins away.

Good news though if you havent had the email, as might be a good sign, fingers crossed.

Best of luck to you all!!!

Sorry to hear you didnt make it through this time, but theres plenty of other TOCs to give it a go with

May i ask what depot you applied for?

 

[David85]

I was in for Manchester.

Good luck!!!

Sorry you didn't get through guys! But at least it doesn't count towards your 2 lives, and you have an idea of what it'll entail for next time. I found that reading the question first, then reading the passage to find the answer worked best for me. Gonna be on pins now waiting for my email!!

 

[Jungie1799]

I am sorry for everyone that has heard a no. I haven’t received any email myself but now it’s making me nervous!

 

[MidweekR]

Sorry to those who’ve had a ‘no’ this time.

Did the email come from the OPC or a Deutschebahn email address?

 

[Amnesiac]

Sorry to hear about those who didn’t get through! Not received anything myself either and my account on DB hasn’t updated at this point in time.

 

[Jungie1799]

Hey all, check your DB Careers website! My application status moved from “Online training” to “Application in process”. I just hope this is good news

I would take that as you have past the online test. I know others that when they failed the online test, their application status changed to "end of process" quite quickly.

 

[Scouse_scott]

Has anyone else not been sent the online test after filling out the questionnaire?

My friends application is still showing "online testing" on the website but he 100% never received an email with a link to the testing.

He applied for Manchester,

Cheers lads, and good luck with your applications

 

[Loco94]

Mine also shows application in process, no email yet, we’ll have to wait and see

 

[Scouse_scott]

@Loco94 you have any of the OPC tests passed already?

my friend has passed most the tests previously so we think it might be related to that

 

[The Difference]

My online portal has also moved to application in progress. Although it seems promising, I will not get excited until that email reaches my inbox with either a yes or no.

 

[Kieranmcd]

Question for folk that applied to multiple depots.
My profile has changed to "application in progress" only for 1 depot, not both. Anyone else have the same?

 

[BlueMike26]

No email yet for me, application still showing Online Testing.

Now showing Application in Progress.

 

[stuf]

My online portal has changed to "application is progress". Guess they could be looking at our C.Vs in more detail before making any decisions.

 

[MidweekR]

Same. ‘Application in progress’, no email as of yet.

Same for me only 1 has changed the other still sits on online testing.

 

[Kieranmcd]

Same for me only 1 has changed the other still sits on online testing.

Funnily enough in the time it took me to post this... and have lunch... they've both changed now. Thinking back, it was the same for the RAAT test so seems like different depots are going at different speeds, so keep an eye on it and good luck!

 

[danchil]

Ahh I see, makes sense! Thanks you too

 

[silexa]

Still states online testing for me - in for both Derby & Birmingham

 

[Amnesiac]

Derby and Birmingham applicant here also, still online testing for me too.

 

[Loco94]

@Loco94 you have any of the OPC tests passed already?

Yes passed them 2 years ago

 

[Scouse_scott]

Yes passed them 2 years ago

That's encouraging news, seems like you and my friend haven't been given the online tests because you already have the OPC tests passed.

Hopefully hear something soon about going straight through to the DMI

I've recently passed all the assessments (and RAAT) and still had to sit the RAAT again, so I would definitely consider a gentle chaser Email.

I should add when I said I hadn’t received an email just it changing online to application in process, I meant an email in regards to the online testing whether passing that or not, I still had to do the RAAT mate

 

[mx612]

Hi Guys,

Mine also shows application in progress, so hopefully we hear back soon.

Wish everyone good luck

 

[Manda2194]

I have this as well so fingers crossed. Does anyone know what it means by completion of basic training. Is it the rules course?

 

[SCDR_WMR]

Yes, rules 1 and 2 I believe

 

[Manda2194]

Yes, rules 1 and 2 I believe

Cheers mate. So that is 12 weeks then right.

Good luck to everyone as well. I am in for Manchester!

 

[Marsh47]
