Railway Industry Standard for Train Driver Selection (Issue 4 - Consultation open)

[DNCharingX]

Noticed this. Not a "job" per se but I thought others may also be interested in it. I love these sort of long documents so I guess I know what I'm doing tonight.

RIS-3751-TOM is the railway standard that "governs" Train Driver recruitment, and includes the psychometric assessment process. The current Issue 3 came into force on 06/06/2015. This issue is proposed to come out in December 2024.

The main proposed change, seems to be allowing a third "life", although the third attempt must be at least five years after the first failure.

I wonder if some of these changes will lead to a refresh of lost lives, if so could be good for those who've lost all two.

Could potentially be very good news for a lot of people this!

I’ve not read it but for those that have what does it mean for those who recently passed all the psychometrics but weren’t offered a job?

Does theirs get reset or does it still remain?
