Does anyone know whether you have to live within a certain distance? The ad doesn’t actually state that anything as such and I’d obviously relocate.

My assumption is within 40mins but I did register and I live about 1hr and 20mins worst case scenario train ride away. Would need to take the Lizzy Line + District Line to the Depot if things worked out. Although closest for me is the Clapham Junction Traincare Depot

In my experience SWR accept relocations. I lived in Rickmansworth and moved to Bournemouth once I'd got my trainee driver job, they just wanted a proof of address before my start date. That was in 2019.

Anyone heard anything? I applied and passed the SJT on 6th Feb but not heard anything since. This thread is pretty quiet so wondering how every one is doing?

When you say stage 2, do you mean the tests done on computer?
