I do wonder if the above post by King actually meant that they've selected those for Mainline already. Usually no news is good news but without much of an update as we start to get to 3 months I'm wondering if it's actually already concluded.Hi, I've passed all the assessments and interviews for the role of a train driver. However due to limited places have been offered to take the role of a train shunt driver or wait in a talent pool. Not one route is guaranteed to be any quicker than the other. Does anyone have any advice or input?
Subject to medical I’ve got the job!
we can only guess atm, i would have thought regardless of the outcome we would have had at least an update on whether successful or not? so I'm still hoping and under the impression that no news is good newsI do wonder if the above post by King actually meant that they've selected those for Mainline already.

I also say this because King's post fell on the same Week Shrimper confirmed he had got the great news of a seat on the shunters course:
especially for everyone that had an interview at least, i understand at initial sift of application the lack of reply, but i would have thought after making it past 2 assessments and having an interview they would be some form of contact to at least say if your successful or not?we can only guess atm, i would have thought regardless of the outcome we would have had at least an update on whether successful or not? so I'm still hoping and under the impression that no news is good news
Indeed but to be fair looking at previous campaigns it seems its not unheard of to not hear anything at all after the DMI if its been more than 1 month. But then again there are here and there some posts mentioning it took almost 10 months.we can only guess atm, i would have thought regardless of the outcome we would have had at least an update on whether successful or not? so I'm still hoping and under the impression that no news is good news

I see wow. To be fair process was quite quick. Has given us that little bit more we need to fight for a seat, being banked assessment results. So ideally you avoid that stage with other TOCs recruitments. Whilst with C2C it also lasts 3-5 Years.I was never told I got the shunters job back in 2019, i just received a medical date in the post. Hopefully it'll be the same for you guys

Excellent hopefully it's good news for us all on here.Course start date is 28th of May.
Possibly could get pushed back a week at the most.
I have heard they will start contacting people from today if they have the job.
Praying me and others here hear some good news soonCourse start date is 28th of May.

I would assume the calls have all been conducted by now. Assuming it's only 8 people that have made a course date for Mainline?
I must say it would be nice to hear from C2C HR to let us know where we stand. Wouldn't want to book leave etc now or take up other commitments assuming it's a no go and then all of a sudden get the magic call.
Indeed that is very true.I would still stay patient during this week and end of month for any news for the mainline job. HR may be inundated with things which might postpone certain schedules. As Jim stated too the start date might be pushed back a week so if this happens i would assume this might have to be finalised first before calling the luckily candidates.
Best to stay positive
Not a word!Anyone heard anything yet?
Not a pinchAnyone heard anything yet?
Another week of possibility, here we go.
Has anyone been successful with contacting C2C HR via email after the DMI, out of intrest?
I'll be honest there are a few I know from this campaign that have received No's or options at the time to sit in a talent pool if they didn't want to take the Shunter course as an immediate alternative.I remember that lady who's husband applied for the role stated he emailed them though that was about a month ago now.
I am just keeping an eye out on email, phone and the online portal for any updates. Would assume no contact from HR if I contacted but that's an assumption. If the start date for the role is 28th May that is less than a month away so should hear something soon.
Yeah I remember one person posting saying that they can choose the shunter job or they wait in a talent pool. I'm just curious if it is still only the first interview candidates who have got an update on their portal or even job offer / alternative or if the second and last interview candidates like us got no updates as of yet.I'll be honest there are a few I know from this campaign that have received No's or options at the time to sit in a talent pool if they didn't want to take the Shunter course as an immediate alternative.
I didn't want to bombard with emails but now, I don't think there would be anything wrong now asking here and there more frequently about what is going on via email. It has been nearly 3 months for most of us that are still in Limbo and that's an extensive period to be in an unknown.
Understandable if you hear nothing in the early recruitment stages but after the DMI it's quite much.
Indeed Indeed. I'd say here and there a friendly email won't hurt from most of us waiting. We could just be all getting lost in the various emails they receive for other posts etc.Yeah I remember one person posting saying that they can choose the shunter job or they wait in a talent pool.

That is true especially with the time frame now since DMI. I'm just seeing it that if start date if is 28th May I may wait possibly nearer that time for any updates before contacting them myself if no further information has been received.
Should hopefully get something, at least feedback as stated on the application if we did not get the job to help us see where we can improve on. If that is the less favorable case I hope it is true C2C do another intake in a few months for us to show interest again and hopefully be fast tracked to DMI.
Indeed. Well May is fast approaching so lets see if its an action packed month, hopefully!C2C a small toc wth two depots and they still aint told the ones waiting for the mainline course if they have passed or not. I know railway recuritment is slow but waiting this long to be told if you have passed or failed is taking the mick. Crazy but if it was me, I'd go to fenchurch street and ask a few drivers if they have any word on whats going on. When is the next mainline driver course or who knows, could be the internals (if it was open to them) they are putting forward for courses first. Anyway I hope you lot waiting find out soon.
Fingers crossed!Indeed. Well May is fast approaching so lets see if its an action packed month, hopefully!
