They said that they mark the test manually. So next week Friday at the latest.

Were there many at your assessment? Do you know if any had previously passed any of the Lorol/Arriva tests, or was it all fresh applicants who had not passed anything previously?

There should have been 20 but ended up with 14. 2/3 of them only came back to sit one or two tests whereas the rest sat the whole thing.

Just been invited to the assessment which is a coincidence as I had also been invited to the assessments with greater anglia today via email. I explained to GA that I had previously sat and passed the assessment and they then confirmed that I will not need to retake the assessments and they will let me know a date for the managers interview. I have now just sent a similar email to Arriva so hopefully they will also be able to check my assessment results. Has anyone else heard back from them yet?

Exactly same situation as me mate.. I emailed GA about the assessments I've passed previously and waiting for a reply. With Arriva I believe they have a custom SJT that we will have to sit, but do let me know of the outcome of your email with them please.

Did you pass with MTR by any chance?

Yes I passed with MTR back in march 2016.
I got a response from Arriva, so they confirmed that I had passed all the tests with MTR however I will still need to come in for the SJT as they do it in person apparently..

Me to. Got through Stage 1 no problem, invited to Stage 2 but the date of tests clashed and I was unable to attend. Was hoping to pick things up where I left off, but not heard :cry:

Hello all

I have been invited to the stage one tests, looking forward to it but quite apprehensive.

Can anybody give a rundown of the day?

Is the DFFT part of day one?

Thanks in advance.

Still waiting. Hoping that they are just slow because it would be frustrating if a rejection meant no response at all.

When I first applied wtih London Overground in 2009, it took me nine months from initial application to receiving my contract. Grab a book, go enjoy the world and have patience. :D

Hi all I emailed their careers folks and they said the 1st sift will take up to 4 months, so no need to worry about not hearing from them yet!
