    A career as a train driver

    For me the searching for a plumber/restaurant with same two symbols wasn’t explained very well. I thought I’d have to single out restaurants/plumbers from a bunch of other random nonsense but turned out what ever test you was doing (restaurant or plumber) they was all the same! They seemed more...

    A career as a train driver

    Ok that’s very true! And very good point. I never really practiced this test before hand. On the day it was easier then what I expected. Almost a rhythm to it. “Low, high, low, high, low, low”. 1635528502 Is that when you gotta go though the directory why listening to the beeps? If so badly...

    A career as a train driver

    I’ve not long ago gone through that tests! It’s very easy. You get practice test at the beginning. Also the first beep you hear will always be the low tone, this is pointed out to you by the assessment person on the day!

    A career as a train driver

    I failed on the dots test, done like 7 lines but wasn’t fast enough! And also failed on a directory search test thing. Was really easy but the test wasn’t explained very well and there was a practice so basically went into it blind not knowing what to do! Annoying how easy I found these first...

    Southeastern Trainee Driver - All Depots - (20/09/21)

    Well sad news peeps … failed! Done the (dots test) then the (listing to beeps) then done a (phone directory) last 45 seconds (memory test GLOP) then (dials) memory test! Failed on the dots test got down to 7/8 lines and that wasn’t quick enough, but didn’t miss any! So speed really is key...
