Put my hat in the running. Wonder if it will be the same blanket silence 2 years in a row 
Hopefully I'm not that Unlucky again.
Did anyone else that's completed the application, receive an SJT online assessment? Last year I believe it was pretty much instant after the application but this year I've not seen it at all. Could be early days however.

No I haven't had one yet. Is the salary advertised the training salary or is that what it is once qualified?

That is for sure the training salary. They have (or had until recently) qualified positions up in the low 50’s.
Thought as much! Just doesn't say what the salary would be once qualified that was all.
West Anglia and Ex Anglia groups of GA
Great Eastern part would mainly be out of Ilford

Mentions reasonable distance to chosen depot going by other TOC’s 30min is reasonable so south london to Liverpool Street is out if the question ♂️

How long is Croydon to Liverpool St? Probably just scrapes it?

Ooooo damn. Then my guess is the Liverpool St one.
Thameslink to Farringdon & Elizabeth line to Liverpool St.
Although you'd have to consider the drive / night bus for the early starts which may be longer.

Yea it’s a real push unfortunately
It is usually 45/60 minutes.
Ok thanks maybe I’ll chance it and see what they say
Depot qualified is 30945. Mainline is 46k qualified first year then 52677. RDW availability varies wildly. These days not so much about. Depots are well staffed at present.
Not bad at all for a start
It actually is, in comparison to other tocs esp the 46k for the first year and the lack of rdw. But having said that getting the key is the most important thing and if someone didn't have have any other options then it's something worth considering.

Indeed, was coming mainly from a Key perspective as you said. For a qualified doubt you'd touch this at all.
@Teddyward already answered your Salary question right after your first question quoted below and in post #7:
