I got a rejection email last night. Last thing I completed was the video interview.

Hello Darlo and I am sorry to hear that. When did you upload the video interview?

Sorry to hear that, hopefully there will be more opportunities the next year. I'm still yet to hear.

Me too. I don't know if it is a good sign or not. Perhaps those who are waiting so long are those who are be planning to start next course in september, if they pass the last few steps..

I uploaded my videos on 10th March and have just got a rejection email. Gutted! Good luck to anyone that progresses further.

Hi All
I have been informed that LNER are planning courses in June'22, Sept '22, Nov '22 and Jan '23
I don't know if this will be from the existing application 'pile' or further adverts.
I am on to psychometrics...

That’s good to know, it’s been over 5 weeks since I handed in my GCSE results and was starting to think I would get a ‘thanks but no thanks’. Gives a little hope I guess that there are a couple of courses planned in.Hi All

Anyone heard anymore yet or got a date for psychometric testing?

Was just about to ask the same, gone very quiet recently.

Yeah I have reached psychometrics but am awaiting a date for testing. Maybe the waiting is all part of the application phase, my concentration skills are through the roof after a month staring intently at my email inbox waiting for the recruitment teams emails

They've gone radio silent on Leeds too. Emailed them my results and heard nothing in 2 months. A friend was offered an interview slot they couldn't do. They tried to rearrange and have been ignored since.
A "still under consideration" email to those not progressing right now wouldn't be hard to do. At the moment they look utterly unorganised, even if that's not the case.

I had psychometric last Wednesday and passed! There were 3 of us there on the day, and I was the only one to pass. So now just waiting to hear about a hopeful medical date, but I am aware it can be a bit of a wait, especially with a bank holiday last weekend. Hopefully, I will hear something next week.

Got my Psychometrics on 29th April.
Was offered a couple of dates ... so they are out there. I just assume they have so many applicants, they are battling through them!

Yes.
Answer the question, give an example where you can. If it can be related to the rail industry all the better!

I emailed them on Thursday I think it was. Just asking if there’s any update on my application and nothing since. I get there’s thousands of applicants, but even an email to say ‘we’re still working through’ would be nice. Or, just to get an email and tell us we’re no longer progressing if they’ve filled the quota to put us out our misery
It depended on the question really as the STAR format fitted some of the questions a lot better than the rest. Just make sure to have some ideas in your head about the examples you can use. I had some paper in front of me and just scribbled a couple of notes/examples down during the planning time.

Do the more experienced folks know if it's likely LNER will repost again in Newcastle? I ummed and ahhed about applying and missed my chance. Gutted. Lesson learned.
From what I've seen, they tend to advertise every Feb so I'd imagine it'll be the same again next year

Thanks MawCo, looks like I've got plenty of time to do some practice tests!
If you want to practice the psychometric tests, I'd recommend the how2become.com software - it was harder than some tests, so it was good practice.
Good luck with your future application!

Will have a look, thanks!
Hello everyone, apologies if this has been mentioned previously.
I applied for this role back in February and after a recorded video interview I was asked to supply Maths and English GCSE results as well as my notice period early March time. From supplying GCSE results I have not heard anything further regarding my application.
I understand railway applications can take a long time however I see members in this forum have progressed with their application. Is it likely I’m still in the run in for the role? Or is it more likely I’m in a standby position depending on other peoples application progression? I suspect I will find out eventually anyway.
Just wondering if anyone had an insight on the process.
Cheers.

Hi,
I think it's a case they are still working thru the applications and you should hear at some point. I know some TOC's take 6 months+ to get back to applicants, it's just the pace of the railway unfortunately.
Thanks for the information, I appreciate the reply.
