It it all depends on what your doing for a job now? There's shift patterns working weekends early late shifts. Good money relaxing and easy work I'd say! Just depends on how you feel about the job

Not sure on the tests, it'll be similar sort of stuff to the initial assessment we had to do after filling in the online application.

Suit is definitely the right way to go. Arrive in good time, be yourself, relax, they want to see the real you.

Good luck!

P.S. Which day are you going?

Have they sent you a little test sheet in the post? Last time when I went back in jan there was just two tests one was to do with you looking from a passenger point of view wanting to travel to different train stations. It was questions like you are at west station your train is 6 minuets late what time will you get to green station. Stuff like that. Next test wads scatt test with shapes.

I got to phone interview but decided to withdraw as I'm moving away from London. There was about 10 to 12 people last time I went remember they might only need 4 people. The test it self is tricky that train timetable chart that's what they used to test us on last time but there was 3 charts the train lines would cross over from each other
