I wouldn't assume that, no news is good news! I've been pretty lucky at hearing quickly but I think it's just luck of the draw. Maybe it's availability of stage 2 assessments? Only the OPC understand the OPC unfortunately!

Don't assume mate, you don't know yet! You might have passed and just waiting for the email. I noticed how varied the times are, for example received news of passing VSE/M7 after 13 days and Stage 1 after 2 days.

Keeping everything crossed mate! Thanks

You lot really need to stop doing this. You’ve failed when you’ve been told that you’ve failed. The amount of times I’ve seen people on the thread say “I assume I failed” for whatever reason is ridiculous. The process is long, some stages are longer than others. Just be patient. It’s super childish running to the forum to essentially throw a tantrum. Just wait patiently, you haven’t failed until you’ve been told that you have

Congratulations. Out of interest is your link to the practice materials working as mine isn't? I thought for a moment it may be because I'm using my phone but then remembered the last link they provided worked fine. I'll try on a laptop before I contact them at any rate just in case.
Crossing my fingers that a trip all the way down to Crewe won't be required either, but I guess that's down to the opc and I'll just have to budget for the time off and travel etc.

Well that's me out ,failed the VSE....no surprise their then as it didn't refresh in multiple occasions and answer buttons stayed greyed out whilst displaying "too late or out of time " errors on multiple occasions.
Complained to opc at the time and they said it was part of the test......Not .....
Anyway best of luck to everyone else hope you all do well ;)

Sorry if posts like this offend you or frustrate you. If it’s a common thing that comes up, it might imply it’s completely natural to worry over something you care about. I don’t go on these forums often and wasn’t even aware that the process can differ and be lengthy etc. Actually helped posting on here as people have shared experiences, been supported and been informative. Staying positive

Edinburgh applicant here, passed the M7 but unfortunately failed the VSE. Didn’t think I done the absolute worst on the VSE, but it just goes to show you don’t really know until that email comes through. Best of luck to everyone else in your applications!

Sorry to hear that I am sure you will pass next time. Just curious did you notice how many you got wrong on the VSE at the time for each stage

Good to see more movement for certain stations. Is it just Polmadie waiting for the vse and j7 emails then?

New 6 week email.
I've passed the initial 5, now wait 6 more weeks.

I’m just writing with an update on your application to Avanti West Coast. We have reviewed your initial application and I’m pleased to inform you that you have been successful. The next stage of the process is for you to undertake some further online tests (VSE and M7).



As I have mentioned in previous correspondence, Avanti are recruiting for the whole year and therefore we are progressing applications at differing times. As such, your application is in an applicant pool, ready to be progressed when we are able to. I don’t have any timescales for this, so I ask that you bear with us and remain patient. If you do apply for this role with other organisation’s can you please let us know as this may have an impact on your application with Avanti.



Thank you for your time to date and continued interest with Avanti West Coast and we will be back in touch with you within the next 6 weeks to provide you with an update on your application.
