The other advert you needs to be a EMR depot driverI haven’t read the whole advert, but the criteria to apply says it’s open to all EMR employees who are over 21 and live within an hours commute of Boston?
BD 37 are out at the moment, none of the others yet...Personally there is a lot going on, including training their own qualified drivers.... I cant see them taking anymore trainees for a long while, maybe for wastage in the future.On a positive note; the last of the existing driver training groups (which had training paused last year) have begun returning to full-time training, with the final group to resume full-time training in the next couple of weeks (I believe).
Yes I did ...and had to reply if still interestedAnyone else received an email from MTR recently about possible courses this year?
As far as I am aware, majority of HR staff are working from home atm. Not sure if phones are being manned.The recruitment team only seem to be there certain days... I have tried calling about 15 times throughout the day can can never get hold of them.
they're picking up calls nowAs far as I am aware, majority of HR staff are working from home atm. Not sure if phones are being manned.
Probably best to email them if you have any queries.
you might want to call them and check. They're answering their phones. I spoke to them last week.

Thanks just found itSomeone posted on the Forum under "Trainee Driver Assessment Process Tips" in May '21
Good morning, if you follow the book and practice then the day it’s self isn’t too bad. The only thing I would recommend is to buy a mock group bourdon test book from Amazon this really helped me practice as the more you do it the better you get and faster as the writing is quite small. When you get to the actual day the writing is a lot bigger so it makes the test a lot easier. Also I know it is about speed as well as accuracy and it may sound stupid but don’t rush and you will be fine. I am starting training on the 19th July with MTR myself. Good luckhi, I hope I'm not talking out of turn but I'm just about to start my assessment stage 1 with MTR next week and was wondering if anyone would kindly give any advice or pointers for what to expect as this job would really mean the world to me and badly want to get through it.
These are the tests I'm expected to take.
thank you in advance
