3 weeks is not really a lot. As frustrating as it is you'll eventually find out the outcome. It was around 5 months until I managed to get an answer after numerous emails. It was worth the wait in the end though.

Its not that long and it's a lot easier than the practice stuff they send you. If you search for the glop test on here you'll get some of the answers.

Have you not thought about trainee driver?

I had start about 6 weeks after medical. Have they given you a provisional start date yet?

I'm coming out with about £1380 every 4 weeks. It goes up after a year or after pass out which ever is first.

I did induction in September it was 2 days at hilton roundtree at piccadilly

As long as it says application in process then you're ok. It'll change to assessments for interviews etc

The group bourdon test is on here to download and I found this site helpful https://traineetraindriverinfo.com/e-products/

No problem.Just remember base all your answers around the qualities of a train driver and you'll be fine.

Also the questions I had were very much like the MMI questions but just worded differently

January last year. You could get different questions just thought I'd give you a heads up. I used multi pitch climbing for that example and spoke about the importance of safety and sticking to what you've been taught and also team work. Think outside the box it doesn't have to be work related.

If it's for Northern I was asked Tell me about yourself What do you know about the company? Why do you want to be a driver and not a conductor? A time when I've had to do something in sequence to achieve a goal A time when I've disagreed with a decision of a manager A time when I've been on...

What station are you at?

True be positive and keep applying that's all you can do if you've done it once you'll do it again. Like I said its crap to get that far and fail but you're in a good position with your tests just emphasise the point on your covering letter.

My original application was with freightliner. I then applied to northern just did the initial sift then had interview and straight to medical after that.
