Trainee train drivers wanted...
Discussion
At least you know what to expect next time and you can do it again in 6 months time. My husband failed on the dots too. He was a borderline pass but thats not good enough for db unfortunately.
I have my managers interview on wednesday 3rd april and medical 8th april so I still have my fingers crossed.

Cheers for that. Been traveling from SW London to Beckton and back for the past few weeks so I've got used to it 
Still it's a bit of a joke that I have to allow 2 hours for a 15 mile commute across my own city, on public transport. 35 mins on my motorcycle tho"
I just wonder why they don't post wages in these adverts. Love to have a go but being of a certain age with kids there is only a certain amount I can go down to. The previous DB Schenker freight job was around £20k whilst training. I can survive on that and use my savings but I presume a depot driver is not very high up the earnings ladder.
At least you don't have to deal with the public

I'd trade in my HGV license of 22 years for this any day... miles & miles of open track in front, no a**holes cutting you up to get of at a junction, no near impossible reversing maneuvers in tight yards, heck... not even a steering wheel, twice the money for half the hours!!!
Hmmm, might be time for a career change.

OMG!!! It's not such a straight forward process... oh well, best get some research done.
Hi guys, are DB Schenker still accepting C.Vs/applications? I can't find an advertised postion on TPE for trainee driver or depot driver and the jobs bit on their site links me to a German site. Link or guidance most appreciated.
Just failed to secure and interview for East Midlands trains for Trainee Depot Driver. As said it's a different skill set but as a former airline pilot and flying instructor, the very experienced based application I hoped would have favoured me but hey I only had a days notice and it could have been better. Also I'm 42, do you think this is cracking on a bit or more to the point do they think it's old I wonder?

Not sure they will be accepting applications. The advert disappeared a few days before the listed end date anyway. I then waited 6 weeks until I heard that my application was good and invited to an assessment day. Think they will have got past the application form deadline.Just failed to secure and interview for East Midlands trains for Trainee Depot Driver.

Apparently all the Trainee driver spots had gone anyway, so I had been applying for the driver/operator role, wish this had been made clearer as I wouldn't have wasted one of my chances going for it.
