Ah perfect. Trying not to refresh my emails every 10 minutes. Thanks for the reply mate.

How long would you normally expect to wait for a reply from the generic scotrail recruitment email address? I sent an email on Thursday last week looking into an old application where I was successful in reaching the pool after an interview/testing etc. Thanks

Ah I missed that advert bud. I've sent an email saying I'm definitely still interested and if they could clarify my position in the holding pool or if it's all expired etc

I appreciate the reply bud. That's positive news then. I sent an email to recruitment yesterday to try and clarify my position in the reserve pool. I'm not sure how long it normally takes for a reply but I've got my fingers crossed for good news.

Hey all, looking for a bit of advice. - I applied in December 2019 for a trainee train driver post. I was successful at the psychometric testing at Atrium court. - I then had a Managers Inverview at my local station and shortly after sent an email stating I had successfully passed the managers...

Well done! Reading back on here loads of people in the pool are taken forward so it's a good place to be. Seems strange holding people who may fail at the next hurdle but I guess that's why they take a few into the pool?

I've just had an email following my DMI on Wednesday 28th August for Inverness. It says although successful at the interview there were more successful candidates than vacancies and I will be held in reserve pool for 6 months. I know people have been taken from the pool before and on occasions...

Thank you for the reply. I've got my stats and numbers down and am working on memorising the routes, I just wasn't sure how much time to spend on the structured interview questions or whether I should focus mainly on the Company and the numbers.

Can someone please clarify something. Is the DMI strictly 'general' questions like "How do you feel about working shifts" "Why do you want to be a train driver" or can it contain structured interview questions like "Tell me about a time when you have worked as part of a team" Thank you

I had my first lot of assessments (paper testing) yesterday and was told last night that I had passed. I've now been given a date for DMI in 6 days. Not a lot of time to prepare, if anyone who has done the DMI previously has any pointers or tips I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply. So one of each and they both take place at the first set of testing (paper tests)?

Can anyone who has done the first lot of assessments clarify something for me please? Does the TEA-OCC test with the yellow pages/directory have tones to listen out for or is it purely a paper test? I've been practising loads of the papers tests but have come across versions on the PC with...

Hey folks. I received an email this morning saying I have been invited to an assessment centre in August. This is my second time applying so have previously practised a lot of the tests however I was unsuccessful getting through the sift last time. I've had a look through the material they...

Hey guys, I am looking for a little advice if possible. I applied for a Scotrail Conductors job in Inverness which had a closing date of 25/03/2019. I'm curious to know how long people have waited to hear back after the closing date or if anyone else has heard back yet as I believe Edinburgh...

Hi all! I have recently applied for the advertised vacancy in Inverness for a train conductor. I've been on the forums for a little while now and have previously applied for a trainee driver's job. I am looking for any assistance on what I can expect on an assessment day for conductors. I...
