In the last two weeks on a particular TOC Two out of Seven Trainee Train Drivers(internal) have failed to come up to standard to such an extent that the two concerned have had to return to their original posts.
This is the third time this has happened on on that particular TOC..
All those three individuals were allowed to return to their original posts as they were all internal applicants.
Without introducing the issue of such a high failure rate (the drivers managers are questioning the whole selection and assessment process having waste d 6 months training) What would happen to an external applicant if they were not suitable.I have never heard of any external applicant being trained for 6 months and then being dismissed they have nearly always been retrained until they became competent? But not internal!
P.S such much for the train drivers assessment.
