You should, I only answered 4 questions in the map interpretation, but completed the whole ticket interpretation, i just made sure the 4 was correct because it was time consuming, yes I did it yesterday, a few of my friends that we completed it together yesterday are yet to get any email and they are so worried
Wow, Thank you for the prompt response. Fingers crossed

Just wanted to pull out a few bits of misinformation or confusion over the last couple of pages...

Hopefully they'll get us in before 2026.. (Major pension changes),
Without wanting to sound like the TfL machine, there are no pension changes confirmed. However, the expectation is that when if there are changes it will affect all staff. Anything already accrued wouldn't change, but all new contributions would. The reality is that new joiners between now and the proposed alterations will see very little of the existing TfL pension (if the changes happen). I wouldn't use this as any big factor in taking the job or not, however, either way.
Night Crossrail would be manned by MTR Elizabeth Line staff (or STM agency if they can't fill positions!) as it's operated by them on concession to TfL. We won't be assigned to that line as we're LUL staff.
Covered already, but there would be an increase in CSA and CSS/M requirement at all of the LU-managed stations. Whilst MTR staff look after the platforms, the gatelines and overall station footprint is the responsibility of LUL.
If you can survive on the salary, then getting a foot in the door seems like a pragmatic decision. As soon as you are trained and in position there is often overtime, and you can ask to be trained (and therefore licenced) as a CSA1 and do 'Higher Grade Working' when available.
Per the agreements at ACAS earlier this year, all CSA2s will be upskilled to CSA1 after 12 month. In practice (as mentioned) this is happening at Ashfield House allowing staff to cover CSA1 shifts on overtime, but obviously this isn't the substantive grade and nor is it pensionable.

Confirmed that anyone within TfL is eligible to apply for operational vacancies (including train operator) after 6 months. And I can confirm that many people from all over the company are successful.
Yes and no. A lot of LTM roles are in fact agency-based, so it is very important to check the exact details of the role if applying based on the intention of moving across to LUL. The same also goes for other 'TfL' jobs that are actually concessions - DLR, MTR/EL, LO etc.

And, of course, some internal vacancies can also be close-listed to certain grades anyway.

I have applied and went through the online assessment. I was very confident I got all answers right. But I just received email saying that I didn't meet the required benchmark to pass. I wonder if you could help so I can apply again maybe next time.

To all of you who are asking about the assessments, look at pages 1-7 lots if information on all assessments. Also Mabz email is on one of the pages.

Well done! Was the written communication and data interpretation about ticketing and reading tube maps?

Hi,
I have got my Written Communication Test next week. would you be able to give me an idea please?

Thank you
The written test focuses on spelling and grammar etc and correcting errors. I’d say if you don’t feel confident on those find something to practice on.

With the written communication, it’s best to practice your spelling, grammar, punctuation etc. TfL don’t send out practice material for that part as (I imagine) it would give too much detail away.

The tickets they send are part of the data interpretation task so go over that as it will help. You might also want to familiarise yourself with the Tube map if you aren’t already.

The assessor will explain each task on the day, but TfL want to keep the exact questions and content a little bit to themselves.

My only other advice is speed and clarity.

Hope that helps and good luck!
