Etihad railway

[Freddieticha]

Has anyone undergone recruitment process for this railway? After Passing two psychometric rounds what process should I expect

 

[Carl98k]

How did you apply for this role?

 

[Ducatist4]

As this is predominantly a UK based forum I doubt you'll get much info I'm afraid.

I'd suggest you put 'etihad' into the search facility, I know that this subject has been discussed on here before

[NorthernTech]

Yes it's from this forum, most are related to Etihad stadium

I just typed in ‘Etihad’ in the search box at the top of the forum page, there is then a drop down list asking if you want to search either ‘Everywhere’ or ‘This Forum’, choose the latter and all results come up showing Etihad Rail previous postings…

If Etihad were advertising for drivers with ECTS knowledge then I'm sure it was likely in an attempt to recruit already qualified drivers from European networks. Deutsche Bahn in particular since they played a major role in development of the UAE's rail network. In either case I don't think anyone on the forums can really help as much as they could with a UK based train company since the UK network is the forum's area of expertise.

But people have left - or may know others - from the UK railway to go for rail jobs in emerging sectors in places like Saudi Arabia, UAE etc. So there might be some insights here, although it is more unlikely

My understanding was that the people who left the UK railway network for these roles in the Middle East were actually for consultation and management rather than driving trains. Indeed if knowledge of ECTS was a requirement for the advertised driver jobs that would limit the potential pool of candidates in the UK compared to those on the continent.

It's Africa but still OPC is used to recruit for Etihad Rail, might not be necessarily ECTS knowledge required here. Passing The OPC is the determiner even if you don't have ECTS knowledge, you will be recruited based on your driving experience

Would any TOCS other than Eurostar train you to ETCS?

 

[Robcuk]

Would any TOCS other than Eurostar train you to ETCS?

GTR? What about SE trains that operate on HS1 ?

 

[PlexiDriver]

Would any TOCS other than Eurostar train you to ETCS?

HEX (GWR) would along with Crossrail and transport for Wales if you do the Cambrian line

 

[Amex88]

Does anyone know what their stated salary is? Or did they not list it?

Elizabeth line would (Heathrow tunnels).

The poster didn’t list a vacancy or advert in their application so we can’t know this.

Does Eurostar use ETCS?

 

[NSEWonderer]

Does Eurostar use ETCS?

On the E320s I believe. Don't think the 373s do.

 

[tiptoptaff]

I thought Eurostar would be TVM signalling, as that's what's used on the French HS lines so it's what they used for CTRL and HS1

 

[jamieP]

On the E320s I believe. Don't think the 373s do.

Not sure to be honest. Don't know if it is needed for Amsterdam

 

[MrPIC]

Eurostar use ETCS in Belgium, it's fitted to the e320 fleet and will shortly be fitted to the e300 fleet.

Don't 373s serve Belgium already though?
