Greater Anglia Vacancies -Trainee Mainline Driver

[UPS1550]

Surely they shouldn’t advertise it as Trainee Train Driver then..?

I'm applying any way but reading the colas rail thread there worse than GA for communication

 

[Marvin1979]

anyone heard anything today? I've been invited to complete some online assessments , not sure what they are as I've already completed the sj assessments, any ideas?

 

[NJS71]

Chances are it will be a duplicate email. I had 3 duplicate emails with my SJT link. Try clicking the link, betting is it takes you to your page which will say you’ve completed it.

clicked on it, the previous is showing completed but this looks like a new one, looks as though it's an sjt again tho

 

[NJS71]

Hmmm, maybe try and contact GA and question it.

Have you applied for depot & mainline?

 

[Marvin1979]

no just mainline

 

[UPS1550]

no just mainline

I got the same SJT twice for mainline and depot, so long as it says completed your done

Still don’t quite get this job. Is it for qualified train drivers moving over to freight? If it for a trainee, how would they have track knowledge etc?! And where is it? I have noooo clue about the above lol

You could be right. It could be for a qualified train driver that is a trainee freight driver. Anyway I still applied so I will wait and see if they reply.

Got an email yesterday inviting me for an assessment day on the 31st at their office in Stratford.

They don’t have a phone number on their website as such but they do have a “live chat” feature which I used to speak to them once a week.

Is that for Greater Anglia? If so congrats. The shortlisting must have started now I guess.

When did you do your SJT & Application?

 

[Mekiz79]

I just done the live chat and they confirmed that I passed the online assessment, and because I have already passed the assessments with another TOC it looks like I am just waiting on an interview for the next part.

how many sjt assessments have you completed on this application so far mate?

 

[Mekiz79]

Just the one. But I've passed all the assessment centres and DMI with Crossrail late last year, I'm applying for GA because Crossrail have no vacancies (bit of a joke really!!)

I've heard Crossrail are recruiting internally again and this will potentially go live to the public soon for trainee drivers.

Hey Craig,

Well done for getting to the assessment day.

What assessments have you done online already? I’ve just done the SJT myself so far.

Yeah only for the depots that they are short for (none of which are remotely near me). The depot I have applied for is overloaded with drivers to the point that they sit around doing nothing most of the time!

Can’t imagine Crossrail Going external again , especially with how many are waiting etc

Don’t dampen people’s hopes lol

Afternoon All!

Don't know if this helps anyone. I applied back on 8th April. My application score was 10.
The 9th of April I recieved 5 emails (yes i too recieved mote than one) asking me to complete some online assessments of which we all know now to be the SJT Test. After seeing a few posts earlier regarding the assessment day, I contacted the web recruitment chat, spoke a helpful lad who was able to tell me that I had passed my SJT and applications are being looked at as we speak. Which confirms what was said above.

Just wanted to let you guys know my journey so far! If it helps anyone out at all haha.

Did exactly the same thing. My application score was a 12 (have no idea what that means and why) and passed the SJT according to the bloke on the chat. He said they have had vast amounts of applicants and they are getting through them all. Best of luck all it’s a waiting game!

Hi all. How do you find out your results for the assessment? Is there a way? eg live chat or just wait to be emailed? Thanks.

I did the live chat as I saw someone else got the info via that. It can be tricky to load up though and connect I found but they seem to come on and answer straight away during the day.

Ok thanks. Where is the chat bit located? Do you have to do it on the desktop or can you do it on phone? Thanks

yes we are in the same boat by the looks of it mate, I've passed the lot with another TOC and am in a talent pool, passed the sjt here so fingers crossed will be invited to interview soon

Like a few others here, I found out that I passed my SJT (delighted because I thought I'd failed) but HR did say it is going to take months for them to get through all the applicants. They're really good on the chat feature. Patience is a ....
