    train dispatcher job OPC results timeline

    That’s not bad although it’s ideal to get both the dispatch sequence/passenger questions correct they do state to prioritise getting the sequence right over the passenger ones

    train dispatcher job OPC results timeline

    I did the same tests as you (assuming it was the TDMT) and heard back in a few days. This can vary due to number of applicants, scores and other factors such as overall application you’ve submitted (there has been times where I’ve passed online testing with GWR but haven’t been shortlisted for...

    GWR Talent Pool

    I recently had an interview with GWR for a SDA role (Service Delivery Assistant) and have heard back today stating my interview was good but they don’t have the capacity to take enough SDAs this time round so they’ve kept my records in the Talent Pool for the next SDA vacancy.

    Is taking time to progress in the railways the norm

    Currently I’ve worked at my role for a year being a gateline ambassador. Some days it’s alright some others it’s a little draining. Having seen some other fellow I’ve seen some dispatchers & TMs which have pushed me to apply for those roles in my current TOC. Annoyingly the majority of them...

    TM Psychometrics

    I’ve recently applied for Avanti as a TM and heard that some TOCs accept successful psychometrics as long as it’s done in a certain timescale. If this is true, how long are they valid for and does it matter if it was with another TOC? I applied with EMR for a TM in late 2021 and passed the tests...

    I used my brothers 16-18 oyster card and then got rejected from medical school. HELP!

    It’s very unlikely university’s will conduct an enhanced DBS check, they are mainly used to inform employers if you have any convictions/offences that would be of relevance for you getting a job for example if you wanted to be a financial manager they may do an enhanced check against you for any...

    Guard role at SWR online assessment

    I’m currently in the process of applying for a guard position at Wimbledon and I’m at the online assessment. What would be the best questions to go with (my assumption is where the customer is put first). another question is are train companies reluctant to hire candidates under 25 as I’ve...
