    Hi all I have been watching this trend from the start. I am a qualified trams driver with over 6 years experience in Melbourne Australia don't feel to bad I haven't received any correspondence either.
    HI. Same here. I've been watching since the start and as Tigge I'm a tram driver with 9 years driving experience and also assistant tram driver instructor. I applied last May and got a response last August stating that my CV will be kept on file and reviewed later on when vacancies arise.

    Yes I did apply. I have already heard the words over-qualified before. I read somewhere last December in the press that for the cross city route, transdev needs about 20 drivers to cover for the new rosters etc. All is not lost hopefully. I'm just going to keep sending in CV's till I get refused or accepted. Either way i've got nothing to lose. As for the recruitment of bus drivers by an external agency for Transdev (indeed.ie), seems to be too good to be true (almost the same wages).

    The waiting game is cruel,will they or wont they call,i really hope something happens even to get to interview and see what the terms and conditions are,it would be nice to see somebody on here getting called aswell so at least we have some kind of knowledge whats actually happening up there.

    My driver friend told me they had their last list of people they were interviewing last week. My name wasn't on the list so I ain't getting a job :(

    I expect when this lot are taken on, they'll send out letters to the rest of us :(
