Sadly I was unsuccessful at the DMI. However there is a silver lining as I'm back interviewing tomorrow for TPE at another depot, no feedback from Northern though so unable to identify where I messed up.

Northern now require enhanced scores on the psycometric tests. When I went for interview they asked if my tests were to enhanced standard otherwise I'd have to take them again. Thankfully mine are enhanced but I was unsuccessful in going forward anyway.
So just waiting on an interview date for...
I'm in the York pool and got dates for assessments in the first week of November. But I've had confirmation from TPE I don't need to attend and I'm just awaiting an interview.
If the process is anything like I went through prior to COVID I'd imagine assessment days (if it is still 2 days) in...
Yes TPE use enhanced. When I did mine last year it was over 2 days. Did day 1 in Leeds, found out I passed. There was a bout 30 people per day on day 1 then get invited to a second day in which there was only 6 of us. The assessment days were about a month apart but this did have Christmas in...
Same here, I got the email today but I already did the psycometric assessments with TPE early 2020 but it never went further due to COVID and the original vacancy withdrawn.
Fingers crossed I get somewhere this time and good luck to all of you going through the next stage of the journey.

I had an email from TPE (and a phone call) confirming the vacancy had been pulled (Hull for me). However my careers account is showing the application still active.
I do finally have in interview next week with another TOC so fingers crossed all is not lost.
Does anyone have any information on the Colas Rail OTM Driver/Fitter/Operator Role please?
Any idea of salary, shifts and the driver training process?
Unfortunately like many over the last year or so COVID pulled the train driver vacancy I was due to progress with. I've passed the psychometric...
That seems very contradictory. The email from TPE HR says the scores are valid for 5 years so I'd like to think they would honour that.
I think I might keep that email handy just incase. ♂️
It does seem each TOC has it's own little quirks on acceptance of the assessments.
