    What to ask a train driver to learn about their job?

    I did want to ask about how Scotrail takes care of staff members who undergo traumatic events. Perhaps therapy and time off? I just wanted to use my skills for a job with a higher level of responsibilities, and to serve people for the better.

    What to ask a train driver to learn about their job?

    Hello. I might be going to my local depot soon to learn more about the train driver job, what transferable skills I have from my current role, and just to get some insight into the daily duties of a train driver. Are there any in-depth or even just general questions you'd recommend me asking...

    Incorrectly conducted assessment?

    Oh, best of luck to you! Do you know if you passed? Also, how did you do on the Bourdon? I averaged about 7 lines, and I think I might have missed 1 group of 4 in each section.

    Incorrectly conducted assessment?

    You answered all 43 questions? See, this makes me feel like my time was actually cut short - we had a break afterwards, and no-one in the group even made it past question 25...

    Incorrectly conducted assessment?

    Yes, I hope this is the case.... Do you, or anyone else, knows what the "pass" mark is on the dial test? Would 20+ correct answers be a pass?

    Incorrectly conducted assessment?

    Hello. I just had my assessment today for a train driver role in Glasgow. I think one of the assessments may have been conducted incorrectly... It was the test with the dials and lines (I won't give anything else away). The test had 43 questions and 8 minutes. I was working very quickly...
