Any idea how long it'll take before the next round of testing?

All I know is there's been over 400 applications. So it is not going to be super-fast, as there's a fair bit of short-listing to do. My only advice is don't be impatient. Just let things happen as they come along, and don't try to second guess the timeline. There are a number of vacancies, rather than just 1.

They're only offering £34k?
Chances are that's a Band 3 Level A, role so won't even be able to include overtime. For a role in Palestra that really isn't a lot of money.

A lot of people are quite happy not working overtime and that particular role offers a fantastic work/life balance. I've never heard anybody complain about the pay or T&Cs.

The salary on offer is above the national median and is, in my opinion, very good for a trainee positon.

I did my work experience in the LU Timetable Office back in 1987. A great bunch of characters to work with, they even let me back for the summer holidays! Fondly remembered.

For a trainee position that is indeed very good, surprising they're not trying to recruit apprentice positions for it if that's the case. I didn't see trainee in the job description though.

All people appointed will be trainee status for one year, whilst they go through the training programme. No overtime, but there is flexitime.

Does anyone know what is happening with this?

I did put an application in, and have done two rounds of online tests (the most recent being mid December)

Logging in to TFL jobs website, it shows "Submission Status: Completed – Updated: 20-Jan-21"

I haven't had any communication since mid December, so not obvious what happened on 20 January.

I don't want to annoy them by making contact and asking what's happening, but also don't want to miss out if a letter or e-mail hasn't reached me for some reason.

Not necessarily. Sorry to be cryptic but nothing confirmed yet.
