I had an e-mail off them saying the same. Early 2014 they will be recruiting again. Not much about lately so hope it is true....
They've got a list of people who passed the tests earlier this year mate - wont be any jobs readvertised next year apparently.
I'm sure a few will have moved onto other things definitely but as about 40 passed in Jan/Feb I can't see anything happening anytime soon - hope I'm wrong mind!

Not seen any recruitment for it, unless they just asked the candidates from the last one in May? Or maybe internal only.
Will be from the 40 odd who passed last year. I have heard that they may be recruiting again in the not too distant future - fingers crossed!
Couple of drivers have left recently and there is going to be a few more going in the next few weeks. In the next couple of years there is going to be a good few more retiring, so no doubt this will mean more vacancies possibly at the end of the year or the beginning of next year. Plus this doesn't include those who are looking to go across to other companies.

Did they have a recruitment drive this year?
Damn how'd i miss that? i've seen nothing since i started this thread.
No mate - that quotes from last year so it was relating to the tests last April time.

Phew thought i'd been a doughnut.
Had stage 1 of the assessments for FTPE yesterday so hopefully all will pan out ok with that.
*************************************************************************************************
Just a thought with the new assessments in place, will they be able to use the talent pool from last year?

afternoon, would have been asleep on the desk, getting there for 9.
Same for me - thought it went ok. Hopefully pass everything so even if not offered a job then wait for Metro jobs.

me also, i know i got the last answer for the 1st part of TEA-OCC wrong, i mmmm'd and arrrrge d over 2 answers and wish i'd gone for the other, apart from that i think i did ok.
My thoughts are even if i don't get the ftpe job (which is more then likely) IF I get a good pass mark on the tests it has got to put me in a good position for future applications.

Cheers. My mate is waiting to get a start date for the Metro - he passed the tests last April.
Can anyone confirm that the assessment tests for Tyne & Wear metro and DB Schenker are the same tests or not, I have failed the driver assessment within the last 6 months as messed up on last test, human error, that's what you get going ill. Anyway will this go against me applying for the Tyne & Wear metro if a vacancy becomes available

Does the Tyne and Wear metros conduct SJE and MMI either down doncaster or at all. What interviews do Nexus conduct?
