Interesting, many thanks for the info @godfreycomplex

Hi folks, I have had a quick search on this thread but couldn’t find any recent info. I was wondering if anyone knows if or when Basingstoke asc is scheduled to transfer to the Basingstoke roc? I realise that the programme to centralise a lot of the SB’s on the Wessex Route is all over the place...

Seriously, do not bother trying to read up or get ahead it will not benefit you in the slightest. I get where you are coming from but trust me! I am currently on IST and from a non railway role and you will get taught absolutely everything you need to know. If you really wanted to do something...

Talent pools are not a very fair system. They work on a points basis, so the more points you achieve in assessments, dmi’s and mmi’s the higher in the pool you are placed. Once a position becomes vacant and the highest placed people leave the pool more people arrive and are placed according to...

Sorry to hear that

Has anyone that has applied for this position heard anything back from recruitment?

Many thanks, I have an assessment day for this role coming up soon for the day shift vacancy advertised a couple of weeks ago. Cheers.

Evening folks, slightly off piste for this thread but does anyone have any experience of MB2 roles for SWR, specifically Maintenance MB2? I was wondering what the career path or progression for this role might be, initial training, overtime opportunities, etc. I am interested in this position at...

Fair one, but if you don’t apply you don’t get!!

The signalling opportunities section of the recruitment website currently has 5 open vacancies (granted not for the north west!) and has had for several weeks. Geographically they range from Cumbria- Cornwall and are from grades 2-9. I check this daily and after speaking with recruitment earlier...

There have been and are currently several vacancies advertised nationwide from entry level vacancies to grade 9, all on the recruitment website.

Might well be worth it, although this is something else that was brought up in the conversation, if you are successful in another application for the same toc your driver application would be closed. The reason is they expect you to fulfill your probation period for the new position. However, it...

After a lengthy conversation with someone in recruitment for another toc yesterday the way talent pools operate is based on the scores you achieved in your assessments and interviews etc. For example the higher the score, the higher in the talent pool you sit. If you are third on the list and...

Thank you Stigy, really great advice, much appreciated. Do you mind me asking how long you were with the company before transferring to GWR. I have seen a few positions recently that I think would be worth applying for so I will go for it and see what happens. I think I will contact recruitment...

Good Morning, I am wondering if anyone on here has any experience of being employed by SWR, GWR or Firstgroup in general and progressed to become a Trainee/ Train Driver. My reason for asking is to see if it would be worthwhile considering a different position within these companies with a view...

Congratulations, fantastic news! Which depot will you be based at?

Very fair points and not something I had considered, thank you.

Hi, last year (Feb 20) I passed everything up to and including MMI with SWR at Fratton Depot. Naturally COVID put and end to recruitment! I have been recently informed by HR that there will be no newbies being taken on this year and next year will be very, very slow with huge backlogs. They...

Ok, happy to be corrected. :D
