Nope

 

[WBFC345]

Has anyone heard anything back for newcastle?

 

[Diedinium]

Any updates from anyone?

No, no invite to the OPC tests yet.

Been thinking about sending an email to the recruitment team, will probably wait at least until the end of next week before I do though.

Personally speaking, I'd just wait it out if it were me, what you need to remember is that everyone is in the same boat at the moment, nobody knows anything.

But best of luck should you decide to contact them anyway.

still nothing for me. I reckon they’re waiting for a new month….. haha

Hello,

I recieved an email at begging of the month confirming that I was successful and am through to the next stage, as assessment that I would receive from OPC in the next week.

I am yet to receive that email . Anyone else in the same position ?

Yes loads of us all in the main thread. Just be patient

Mine still says application in progress. This is for a Newcastle position.

So does mine for newcastle

 

[Newapplicant]

I'm also in the same boat but for Leeds. I guess we all just need to be patient and what will be will be.

 

[bcfc171081]

This is a long delay even by rail standards. Considering it’s just for the online assessments.

 

[Diedinium]

Just got the email with an invite to the online assessment, don't have a chance to look properly at the moment, but it looks like a RAAT test is the only one by the looks of it.

 

[Carl98k]

Yes just got mine as well

 

[Ashley872]

Yup, received mine just now as well.

 

[bcfc171081]

Yep just got mine too! Excited and nervous now

 

[Newapplicant]

Congratulations guys and girls!

**Still waiting here patiently - sitting on my hands**

Hi,

Given these tests are through the OPC, does anyone know if these would count towards your “two lives” at this stage?

Thanks

Don’t quote me but I’d say no. The reason being technically someone else could do the test for you. It’s only test at the assessment centre that would count. That’s my opinion anyway

 

[WBFC345]

Is anyone still waiting to hear back for newcastle?

 

[Carl98k]

Just had a bash at the practice material in the given 8 minutes. I managed to score 7 out of 9 in 4 minutes. I’ll have a crack at the test later. Good luck everyone

Would be handy to also know, I have just passed stage 1 again with another toc.

I've not received any reply, or correspondence since completing my application in January. It still says "Application in process", and I've already passed my psychometrics. Extremely frustrating, but I can console myself that I'm not the first, and won't be the last to have passed the psychometrics, and continually fail to pass the sift for other trainee driver job opportunities. I've resigned myself to forever be stuck in "Application in process" phase for XC trains like many others are from the last intake.

Yes me.

 

[Carl98k]

Well that test was a bit cheeky

 

[L33mcc]

Well that test was a bit cheeky

Haha I thought that too ! How you think you done ? What did you finish cheeky about it lol same as me I guess

 

[Ashley872]

Just finished the test too. Found it a bit confusing, but I guess its to keep you on your toes! Anybody know when we could expect to hear back about results?

 

[Carl98k]

They changed the wording on the answers, but basically means the same thing. I didn’t have time to answer the last question though

 

[bcfc171081]

Anyone manage all questions??

 

[Raikkonen7]

Anyone get 2 emails containing RAAT invites?

Anyone manage all questions??

Yes, I did. Whether I got them right is a entirely different matter…
