    Passed interviews but no job offer

    I appreciate how disappointing this can be especially after all the hoops you had to jump through to get to this stage. But do remember it is still a great accomplishment to get to this stage. Many don’t even make it to sit the OPC assessments let alone to the driver manager interview. My...

    Maths and english

    It’s will a course that will last a few months (similar to a class in school) which you will undertake alongside your train driving training (likely online at home). Towards the end of it, you will be required to sit an exam for each subject which will allow you to gain qualifications equivalent...

    MTR Crossrail Trainee Driver (Multiple Locations)

    The OP was made 27 July 2018. MTR did have another recruitment round a few months ago but will likely be another year (imho) before they open up again.

    Unable to get renew Priv loaded onto Oyster.

    Has anyone had any success with this? I tried today but was refused at ticket offices for London overground, London Underground (Liverpool Street) and National Rail (Liverpool Street).

    MTR Trainee Driver - Old Oak Common (14/05/21)

    From what I have heard (current driver), another training group is due to start next month (ppl have also been selected). My guess would be that additional training groups were planned but delayed for whatever reason. However, its still a positive sign that they are continuing with recruitment...

    Any ideas whether this is a trainee position? Can’t really tell from the advert and no specifications that I can see. It does however mention a trainee salary?

    MTR Trainee Driver - Old Oak Common (14/05/21)

    I guess they changed the assessment format this time round. Previously DMI would be the final after assessment centres 1 & 2.

    Notice period prior to joining the railway

    Worst scenario I could imagine would be that you might be slightly overpaid or used too many leave days (similar position to what I was in) and they would ask you to repay this. Not really much else they can do other than physically forcing you to stay with them for the additional two weeks.

    2 Hand Test

    You will normally be given one or two practice attempts in which you are asked to move the red dot around outlines of shapes or letters. Rather than doing the actual task on these practice rounds, use the opportunity to play with the controls e.g. moving the dot around the screen making...
