In the event that they do allow a relocated person to assume the role, like many other TOCS, it may just be the case that the more local applicants did not meet the criteria they were looking for. Or lo and behold, they may not even have received any applications from anyone within 45mins, which may not be too hard to believe if it is such a small secluded village as been described. Unlikely to be the case for such a position, granted, but still can’t be excluded.
TOCs will always want the best applicant for the position as will any company who recruits. With train driver positions, even more strictly, no criteria will ever be sacrificed and will likely get someone in from the South East/West country/Anglia etc who can do a strong enough application and pass all the required stages to high enough levels rather than someone who lives a 5 min walk away who perhaps cannot.
Please can we keep any further discussions relevant only to the advertised job, and any discussions regarding jobs being reserved for locals/relocations can be given it’s own new thread.
Thank you.
