Ah ok hopefully I'll hear something soon too.
Mine has changed to assessment, but I've not been contacted by them.

I received the infamous "thanks but no thanks email" today. I've tried quite a few times with Northern but can't seem to get past the paper sift, I think my office job seems to rule me out despite having a private pilots licence which surely shows an ability to operate in a safety critical environment.
I'll throw my hat in next time though

Thanks, I applied for Sheffield.

I’d confidently say that pretty much no job rules you out of a paper sift. On driver courses at the minute are ex office workers, truck drivers, IT workers, all sorts.
I’ve never done anything to do with safety critical work and I got the first trainee driver job I applied for - I made sure my application highlighted that I have the skills they were specifically asking for in the job description, it doesn’t matter whether they’re from work or elsewhere.

Did you get a phone call about that?
I’m in exactly the same boat but my application status hasn’t changed.
I attached an extra form/letter to my app saying I had passed all the OPC assessments
No just received an email inviting me to an interview next week. I put on the end of my covering letter about the OPC stuff.

Mine still says that for Piccadilly.
But there is nothing there now. Presume this is closed for now?
Hi, I passed an interview for Blackpool around 6 months ago and sat the assessments 5 months ago unfortunately I messed up on one assessment.
I’ve re-applied to Blackpool in December and have now been informed I have an interview on Monday 4th feb. I can’t re sit the assessments until April tho (6 month wait).
Does anyone know if my previous interview for Blackpool less than 6 months ago would not still be valid for this one? And could just wait to re sit the assessment I failed on?
Thanks
Jon

I’ve called them as it’s confusing as on my log on page it says “assessment” stage. They’ve said my last interview is now invalid and to turn up on Monday so I best get revising.
Thanks

Applied for Manchester Victoria and Manchester Piccadilly trainee driver back in December. Received email 1st February with interview this Thursday, no online assessment, straight to structured interview.If successful at 1st interview stage a date will be provided for the Train Driver psychometric assessment. Wish me luck. Let the research begin............DB website says Victoria = Assessment / Piccadilly = Application in progress.
Exactly the same for me so interview this week for Victoria before any assessments/tests, only got the email this morning so really short notice.
Do you think they interview and then consider you for both Victoria and Piccadilly if you applied for both?
Will have a good read through posts on here this evening for any info on the interview this week, guessing it will be the competency based questions.
Best of luck to anyone else having interviews
Hope you don't mind me asking, how did you find the interview?
Got an email this morning inviting me for an interview this week which surprised me as not done any assessments, very little time to prepare for it but will give it my best shot

Hi, my interview was just right. Got the questions I expected to be asked, though only had 2 days to prepare. I feel I did fine, you csn never be sure with interviews.
