Think he means, which email did you use to contact them haha! Was it... [email protected] ?

Oooooo Hahahah I never contacted them in regards to finding out why I failed as I have yet to receive a rejection email. But I would imagine that is the email address to use if enquiries needed to be made

Does Avanti take people who have had laser eye surgery?
I had mine in 2008 and eyes have been somewhat perfect since then. I know there was some initial trepidation and the guidance has changed, but don't know if Avanti have a blanket ban like Virgin used to.

I had mine lasered in 2008 and now have perfect distance vision. I've also applied for the Avanti vacancy so we'll soon see.

Best of luck to everyone looking out for their results after taking the M7SJT & VSE. I believe most will get their emails this approaching week. Fingers Crossed for you all and best wishes

A friend of mine recently applied for the position at Wolverhampton, he was very interested in the railway as I have just been offered a job as a signaller. When he took the tests he instantly got an email stating that he was unsuccessful. He asked for feedback and was told that he passed the SJT put sadly failed the VSE. I would probably say that people who have not heard may well all be successful as it seems the computer scores a fail instantly, good luck to all.

Congratulations on your new job as a signaller. I recently took that test and it is absolutely difficult hahah ... you did great. I applied for Grade 7 but didn’t get the position. I applied as a back up/foot into the rail industry.
Hopefully I get further with my Euston application. Thank you for the info you posted. Fingers crossed.

I heard back, they basically said laser eye doesn't rule you out however you still need to complete the medical (as expected). So it's good that's it's not an automatic no now. They apparently asked the recruitment team who gave the information.
That’s good, at the end of the day you probably have better eyesight than most who don’t wear glasses! It’s just them weighing up a risk, but good luck I’m sure it’ll be absolutely fine

Thank you it's a relief. Fingers crossed there are no issues and can get through the tests. No doubt it'll be difficult but definitely worth it.That’s good, at the end of the day you probably have better eyesight than most who don’t wear glasses!

Can’t see them taking any of us that pass this year as there are already courses delayed in starting due to the current situation! Those won’t finish till October/November so doubt very much it will be before this time next year!
fair enough
I know haha
That’s just going off their email of 10 days....with what’s going on everything the process is probably much slower
