Well a load of the shunters are starting their driver training in jan and we've had quite a few trainees start at three bridges in the last 5 years.
Its now over subscribed for the next few years so I'd be chasing them up to see if you could get on a course at Brighton.
You've got no chance for three bridges now unfortunately.

Sadly alot of the talent pool get forgotten about, its common across tocs, some get a place quickly, others will wait many years and never hear back.. I know many internally who are even still sat in the pool approaching anywhere between 2-5 years respectively
Out of interest is there a common theme to those left in the talent pool.

It is a very strange set up the pool system. I was under the impression it would have been a first come first serve type basis for each depot.
I'm just basing my view that this one will be a talent pool as well, as the last couple haven't stated anything about a talent pool but everyone I know that had gone and passed it have also been placed in the pool.
Different TOC/FOCs have their own way of doing things, but I’d imagine it’s mostly to do with how well you scored at interview as to what position you find yourself in.

Me neither
Seems that was posted 2 weeks ago.
It may be out of date before it was even posted. If you click on any of the links is there an actual application process or does it say it’s closed/doesn’t exist?

Has anyone passed the application stage because I’m still waiting to hear back from mine?

Still waiting, suspect it may be a while longer... Huge amounts of applicants and most likely an HR department working reduced/remotely

I applied to Southern and Thameslink. The email today was from Thameslink
I applied to Southern and Thameslink. Got unsuccessful email from Southern weeks ago but got my online assessment today from thameslink. So don't loose hope if you have been unsuccessful for one. Anyone know what types of online tests are those?

Where abouts do you live? If you gave the same answers for both sets of questions, maybe Southern turned you down based on your location?
