Yeah I wondered if I should apply for Thameslink and also Southern. Did you just put same answers in both? - assuming same questions were asked in each application form.

im currently awaiting a dmi with GTR for brighton. This is a good sign though strange how they named the tocs in the application. When i applied it was GTR now they have broken that down to the tocs under GTR.

Well its not that strange tbh just different to the usual.

You are a diamond. Thank you for this.

There’s no mention of being restricted to applying for one post only. I’m assuming you’re allowed to apply for all 3.

 

[Javelin_55]

I have applied for both Thameslink and Southern as Brighton is close to me. Hoping to get through the paper sift at least - I'm now busy clearing my diary for the next year. Best of luck to everyone doing the same!

Anyone know if they accept applicants who need to relocate ?

 

[Jules1970]

I am new to the forum and am in the process of applying for barnham or Brighton, does anyone know where the training is done.

As far as I know, they wouldn’t take you on, on the promise of relocating.

Believe it's Selhurst

Does anyone know if Great Northern is enhanced or NS?

 

[jacey]

i might be wrong but i believe all tocs under GTR are enhanced. i have taken tests recently although this was just Thameslink.

 

[387star]

Yes it's DOO so requires a higher pass

 

[joshuan542]

Does anyone know if Great Northern is enhanced or NS?

All of GTR are enhanced

Which depot you applying for?

 

[diego1234]

Do GTR ever recruit qualified drivers?

 

[Class2ldn]

Not that often, would be worth a call to HR to see

 

[BenjaminButton]

Does anyone know if all three share the same HR?

 

[Chuchu]

Yeah I wondered if I should apply for Thameslink and also Southern. Did you just put same answers in both? - assuming same questions were asked in each application form.

Well yes, I thought it would be ok to do that, considering they have the same parent company. Identical application steps for all of them.

 

[387star]

Does anyone know if all three share the same HR?

Not sure however moving across from say Southern to Thameslink or vice versa is very difficult as a Qualified and you apply as if you were an external.

 

[dth]

Does anyone know if all three share the same HR?

Yes based at Croydon

Wasn't the case for quite a few of the southern guys a couple of years back.
They just came across.
