    Thanks for the reply. It’s actually my brother in law who’s applied for the role. He done the English, maths, mechanical comprehension at home in a computer with them watching him via a camera. I’m in the industry as a driver already but this is the first job he’s applied for on the railways.

    GTR Trainee Drivers Hornsey/ Cricklewood

    Has everyone else received an email today with a link to book an interview. Spoke to Roopali and she said because it has been 2 years they want to interview again. I’m stunned to be honest and feel a bit sick at this news. If anyone speaks to her can you ask how many places there are on the course.
