Chiltern - Trainee Train Driver - Bletchley (06/09/23)

Even if it does include weekends (but it doesn’t) it’s still not 10 days.

Exactly my point, 7-10 and today is 7..

Had finished my Stage 2 on 27/Feb in OPC at Watford. Been told the result will be sent out 7-10days. Had sent email to Arriva but still didn’t hear any feedbacks, what should I do?

Be patient. There's a bit of a delay in proceedings currently, due to circumstances outside Chiltern's control.

Will this route be driver only or will they be recruiting Train Managers or conductors? If so, does anyone know of the timescales? Thanks.

That is still to be confirmed although I expect it will most likely be DOO.

Thanks - appreciated.

Now been waiting over a month time but still not hear anything yet. Is it normal

If you've done your OPC tests you could try contacting them to see if you passed, otherwise try getting in touch with any contact you have at recruitment.

Thanks for your advise. Just curious, is that abnormal situation?

No, it's not unusual to hear nothing for some time by any means. Note though that Chiltern do not deal directly with their own recruitment process beyond initial sift of applicants apart from final DMI.

That's what I thought literally. I had done the Stage 2 including mmi and then nothing update from both Chiltern or OPC even I had email them for any update. Even I had tried to call Chiltern, and the staff told me would ask colleagues to email me back with the update but none.
Don't want to be too pushy on keep chasing however at least know it still in processing or rejected somehow.

I've reached out to the contact by phone and email but nothing back from TOC of yet.

OPC won't tell you, I did that when I was trying to find out. They told me it has to be the TOC that tells you

I know OPC won't disclose the result, they replied would forward my email for chasing TOC. However TOC is still no update.
