Where is your nearest station?
Kilmarnock nearest depot will be Glasgow or Ayr.
Good luck for it. Plenty information earlier in this thread that should be of help to you.
Hi all
As I have mentioned in my last post I have the 1st assessment on Friday. Can anyone advise if the 3rd part of the Tea-occ is listening to both high and low tone or just the one tone which you need to count while looking through the directory.
Thanks in advance.

Hi RTNH
There's high and low tones where you count the low tones (I think), and then also tones while looking through directory. It's not too much to worry about tbh, just focus. Probably the most difficult bit is the technical passage with the multiple choice. You'll be alright. There have been links on this forum to practice material which are same as book I bought, they're helpful. Also practice the group bourdon test. If you can, do the dot ones rather than the letters.

Hi thanks for getting back to me. I bought a practice download for the TEA-OCC and did ok hopefully it is roughly the same. Been practising the bourdon test loads and seeing dots in my sleep so fingers crossed.
I take it you found what you were looking for on this forum ref 2nd assessment and MMI etc?
Stage 2 assessments are well documented on here and on other threads so I won't bother going through it all in detail again as the info is already here but you will do situational judgement questions, computer tests, and if you pass those you'll do the MMI that same day.
The medical is a different day and you'll receive an appointment for that if you're given a conditional offer. It's conditional on passing the medical, satisfactory disclosure Scotland and satisfactory reference check (reference check is merely checking with HR of your old work the dates you worked there and is carried out after your start date).

Well done! If you have the time to look through all these posts, there's plenty of info re DMI posted previously. Good luck!
Hi everyone. Got an email saying I am being progressed to 2nd assessments (dmi was 1st August).
I know it has been Covered but if anyone could drop me a message with done info regarding questions asked and how to practice for tests who has done it recently it would be greatly appreciated.
I had put this to the back of my head after being put in holding pool but ready to get stuck in again now!

Does anyone know the booking on/off times for train drivers at Glasgow central? Also, can anyone confirm the traction type? Obviously I'm aware of the EGIP, but are there other traction types? Thank you

I practiced by setting image to approx 0.79ths of a second and tried to get down to 0.75ths. but rem the pressure is unreal and was still unsure Id passed it, infact it was the only one I wasnt sure about.
Lol I did put 1 - 2 seconds at first but I felt it didn’t sound much different to a literal blink on the screen like at the end of the test. But the last few images are pretty much sub conscious half guesses haha

I think 1sec is about right but hard to say. Any practice you can do can only be good thing so start high & reduce it gradually as you improve

Need some advice. I've got my interview tomorrow in Glasgow for trainee train driver. Just looking over my notes and research. When I thought i had better check my application to refresh my memory on the answers.
Here's where I'm in a pickle. I've just noticed that my date of birth is actually wrong on the application, I could only fill it out on my phone at the time as my laptop had died. And I'm guessing my thumb must have hit the wrong button. I'm guessing this wouldn't be a good thing considering how much attention to detail I should be showing.
How should I go about correcting this information with them?
Thank .

Personally, I would forget about it tonight. No point worrying about it just deal with the interview for now. See how that goes, then if all goes welll, drop HR a wee email. I'm sure they'll understand.
