Or everyone being taken from last year's applications. It will almost certainly be readvertised.

There's people from last year that passed everything in talent pools, I'd imagine they would be taken first before being re-advertised.

Correct.

Not necessarily. This has happened before with a mix of people from previous years talent pool and new applicants.

They definitely took people on from Manchester. I'm not sure what the talent pool is worth tbh, if I was in it I wouldn't be particularly confident.
There's a new course at the start of the year planned. I'm not 100% but I think theres something to do with the governments involvement about internal promotion at the moment?

When will CrossCountry be recruiting for apprentice train drivers?

When you see an advert for Crosscountry Trains Trainee Train Drivers… That’s as close an answer to your question that anyone (without insider knowledge) could give you. You just have to keep checking the Train Company’s websites daily if you don’t want to miss out.

How did you get on pal?? Or have you not had it yet??
Still not had it yet
Had my interview a few days before Christmas. I still haven't heard anything back yet. Found the interview really difficult and I know I struggled all the way through it. I just hope I showed enough beyond my nerves that they'll give me a chance

Was it
“tell me a time when you’ve felt under pressure and how did you react?”
“Tell me a time when you’ve corrected something that could have had bad consequences?”
questions?

Yeah there was probably 6-10 of them which i found way to many and ended up tripping over myself a few times. I just wasn't ready for them all. My first real proper interview in about 12 years so I'm out of touch with it all anyway
Which depot are you applying for ?

Was a month last time.
Was it the jobs that went live last February you applied for or the recent ones?
