TfL Ref: FOI-0162-1920

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 15^th April 2019 asking for information about the recruitment of Night Tube train operators.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require.

Your questions are answered in turn below. Note that the correct reference for this recruitment campaign was 026620.

Question 1) how many people applied (internal and external)?

Answer: There were 10,291 applications (1489 internal and 8802 external).

Question 2) how many people passed assessments stage 1 (internal and external)?

Answer: 471 candidates passed AC1 (369 internal and 102 external).

Question 3) how many people passed assessments stage 2 AC2 (internal and external).

Answer: 196 candidates passed AC2 (193 internal and 3 external).

Question 4) how many of the hired people have so far completed the training and how many have not yet started training?

Answer: 115 have not yet started training. We do not have an exact record of how many people have completed the training, as once on the training programme people from different recruitment campaigns can be trained together, and the training team do not keep a record of which campaign each trainee was recruited from. Given the overall numbers referenced above (and noting that 191 people were ultimately hired), then the maximum number of people currently in training or who have completed training is 76, although the actual figure could be less than this if any people have since left TfL.

6) What is the current waiting list?

Answer: 115.

If this is not the information you are looking for please do not hesitate to contact me.
