Whilst in a KL restroom, we had an ex Stortford guy talking of them harmonising the pay to at least 60k, I guess that didn't work out?

I'm surprised they're not looking for depot drivers on the GE side as I thought that's what everyone starts on when on the GE/Anglia side.
Still in talks.

Has anyone completed the assessments yet? If so, what did it involve? Anything new to catch us out?

Congratulations both.

Your applications must have been exceptional to get that many invites.

Many thanks for this, application in. Here's hoping, good luck all.

Also I used to be a London bus driver and had a staff pass for the whole TFL network, but Greater Anglia trains are not a part of that..

..does anyone know for sure what the 'free travel' will include? Thanks.

How many tests were there Chanelle25, if you don't mind me asking? As to re-applying, I'm not sure if you can? If you used a different email address perhaps it would let you go through the process again?

Greater Anglia staff get free leisure travel on the following Abellio companies:-
Scott Rail
Mersey Rail
West Midlands trains &
C2C
As staff we get London Overground Chingford, Enfield and MTR Shenfield to Liv St. Mainly for work use.

I just applied. Thanks for putting up the link. I've been a guard for six years. I have a 1st class aerospace engineering degree and got turned down in the managers interview because I "expected to succeed". Fingers crossed
Expect to succeed? what does that mean?

Hiya Choochoobacca,

I did the initial application then was sent the SJT which I completed and that was all. I then received an email to say I was unsuccessful. To be honest I did not find the SJT complicated so I am wondering what answers they wanted me to select as I thought most of the answers were pretty obvious.....or maybe not :) :)

Don't worry I got 5

Would you mind if I asked seeing as you would relocate which three stations you chose? Did you pick ones your currently nearest too now? Thanks (just so as I know what to do)

Peeps,

Does anyone know if I could re-apply after being unsuccessful at SJT stage? As I am unable to find any telephone numbers for Greater Anglian recruitment to ask them?

Do you mean apply for the exact same vacancy you were unsuccessful at, or is this a previous vacancy you were unsuccessful at and you want to apply for this new one..?

I would imagine you could apply again in the future but as far as using another email and trying again now, personally I wouldn't recommend that as it may cause you problems around honesty and integrity, they will have your name down already. If you want to apply again now, I'd only do it if you get the go ahead from them first, you wouldn't want to damage your chances for the future

I am proper gutted though!! But will try again at some-point.:)

Maybe re-assess your application answers, as perhaps the rejection came from there rather than the tests? It may be something as simple as the distance you live from the station selected is too great? Good luck when you go for it again!

Do they not look at applications before inviting for the SJT then..? :-/
