FAQs

We’ve recently updated our careers site (isn’t it nice!). This means that you will have to re-register your details here. We’ve tried to simplify the registration/application process, so hopefully it doesn’t take too much of your time.

The best way to find out about our Trainee Train Driver vacancies is to make an account and sign up for job alerts here. This way you will receive an email next time we advertise this roles.

The best course of action in this situation is to log into your account and see what status your application is at and what emails you have been sent (sometimes these can end up in your spam folder, so it’s worth double checking). If there’s no news in there and it’s been more than two weeks since the job ad closed, feel free to get in contact with the recruitment team on hr_resourcing@gtrailway.com. When emailing us, if you could include the job title and reference number in the subject line, it would be really helpful. For high volume roles, it can take us some time to get through all the applications and it may take longer than two weeks to process your application. Thanks for your patience!

No problem, just click here and enter your email address to receive a reset link. If you don’t receive this link, make sure to check your spam folder.

If you have tried a few times and followed the instructions provided already then send us an email at: hr_resourcing@gtrailway.com.

If you can include a screenshot, it would be especially helpful. When emailing us, if you could include the job title and reference number in the subject line, it helps save time.
