I imagine the September date will be pulled out of a pool potentially. Unless it's a typo in the advert...

They also had 9th September for test options too.

Yeah the testing had a number of dates, convinced the start dates had been a typo or for a separate recruitment pool.
Would probably be a world record turnaround otherwise

How long does the classroom training take place at Aylesbury but also how long is the driver training with Chiltern Railways?

I think we'll probably hear back near the assessment dates. Will Chiltern do the assessments first then the driver manager interviews or the other way round?
That makes sense! Not sure on the order at all!

They had me go to OPC in Watford for paper and computer based tests
Nothing obscure, just know your examples and company info.

With the first available testing day less than 36 hours away I'm guessing they wouldn't leave it that late to let people know?

I wonder when Chiltern will start inviting people through to testing and interviews. Will they do the testing in a day or two days?

Someone named Andy from their people department called. I assume they are currently calling other candidates as they gave me a choice of interview slots.

ooh interesting! I wonder if they are doing each depot separately. I know many people who applied for Marylebone and nothing yet!
Well done and best of luck with it. Have you passed all or any psychometrics already with a previous TOC/FOC?I received a call yesterday inviting me to interview at the Banbury depot in 3 weeks! Keep your phones on loud
