Scotrail - Trainee Driver - Various (March 24)

[RossMc]

Cheers Zack..

Just as well I have a degree of patience..

Indeed. I applied in 2022 and only just going through my first assessment stage now.

I believe the new recruitment process (this thread) have added in the online assessment as a precursor to the stage that I'm at as part of the weeding out process. Ie you could be in for a loooooong wait.

Has anyone from ayrshire heard back either way?

 

[BigChungus]

Has anyone from ayrshire heard back either way?

I’m North Ayrshire and haven’t. I don’t think it’s necessarily about location though as we’ll be Glasgow based and people have heard back. As has been said above though, no news is good news as it stands! Don’t be stressing out over it, it’s not in our control. We’ll hear back either way in time

 

[theflyingscots]

Anyone for Perth depot had a reply?

I’m also Perth. I’ve heard nothing after the SJT

 

[Dmcb]

Just over a month has passed since my submission date, no news is good news as they say but having an application last year just fall by the way side and get no where I'm wondering if again time may be up? I have an application standing with another toc but that has went quiet since last year also.

 

[station id]

Hey, well done. I noticed you're Highlands, was it Inverness you applied for? I sat my SJT on 30th, closing date 31st march

Inverness is my closest depot so I guess it is. I applied for the national ad though.

Likewise my friend.
I am hoping for a quick response.
What prep are you doing whilst you wait?

None yet as I don't know what to prep for.

Yeah, I'm sure I sat mine around 24th for deadline 27th. Unsure of next stage but patience definitely required

I'm falkirk so unsure if we'd fall in the same bracket, may sound daft but have you checked spam etc my email was there

 

[bigmeg]

Hi. Thanks for reply. Yeah I’ve checked the spam folder and nothing there. I assume you have heard fella?

 

[Scottt]

My psychometric testing was dues for completion on 16/03/24, I got an email on 22/03/23 inviting me to complete my SJT before 27/03/24 and have not had anything since.
I applied for Glasgow.

[Tr4inee]

Yeah, same here. My closest station is Drumgelloch, so i would assume my closest depot is Glasgow or Motherwell. Sat my SJT on the 24th for completion on the 27th March and still not heard anything. Still clinging on to that little thread of hope too!

 

[kieran214]

I got the email late last week after 6ish weeks, I would hold out hope judging by the comments on here there is a massive back log with recruitment at the moment

Hi. Thanks for reply. Yeah I’ve checked the spam folder and nothing there. I assume you have heard fella?
