13 months later, mine still shows that for a Plymouth application, I can safely assume nothing will be coming of it, seeing as I am starting as a Conductor with GWR soon, I will withdraw my application and use my 1 life left maybe one day in the future if GWR open to internals again, otherwise I think I will be just as happy in the back cab....

Did it actually say you hadn’t applied to any job, or had the job details disappeared? I’ve had one disappear once a certain amount of time had elapsed, like the job had been completed at the office end so they just delete it, no emails to confirm, just remove it...

Its just said I have not applied for any, its as if It never happened, to be fair its been 13 months and I had assumed I hadn't been successful a long time ago.

A very professional recruiter keeping people informed of their progress o_O It would seem a few have been ‘cleaned’ of their application with no email which is also pretty poor. Not great HR at Crosscountry

An update on Leeds, there are 4 trainees in training or about to start, they were all internal promotions, mainly x TM's.

Duh…more general, on their website as previously mentioned. Most train companies have loads of information on their website, Facebook pages etc about what they are doing, what is new, strategies etc. Or Google them. Or use the search functions on here. If you had wanted to know traction, ask ‘what traction does (toc) use from (?) depot’. One of the things they are looking for at interview is to see how much you know about the company, or what you have sought out to find and to see how much you really care about the job.
