    Scotrail - Trainee Driver - Various (March 24)

    Not being funny but there’s plenty of info online and within this rail forum site about this if you can be bothered to look for it. It’s unlikely anyone who has been through this before and knows what it involves will give you this information on this thread as quite frankly you’re the...

    Scotrail - Trainee Driver - Various (March 24)

    I have just done my online SJT for Scotrail. I am not giving out the questions I was asked but I can say the questions were different to the last SJT I did for DRS (they are specific to the company/role you have applied to). This is probably why they get you do to them again so that you do...

    Scotrail - Trainee Driver - Various (March 24)

    depends how long ago you took them (and also on the company preference). In theory test results are valid for 5 years but realistically most TOCs only count them for 2 years (and some will just make you sit them again anyway regardless of whether you passed them recently!)

    Scotrail - Trainee Driver - Various (March 24)

    I got news for you….its not the final test it’s just the final online test! If you pass this there will still be likely 2 days you have to go to in person assessments/interviews and that’s where the hard stuff begins!

    Scotrail - Trainee Driver - Various (March 24)

    Ive passed everything for GWR a number of years ago then they shut the talent pool due to lack of vacancies grrrrr! Basically your pass scores are supposed to be valid for 5 years on the system, however in reality I have been told that most TOCs will only consider pass marks as valid for 2...

    Failed dfft any advice please?

    Do you know which part you failed - I assume it was part 1 (where you had a picture of a train with solar panels, battery, brakes etc then a carriage with windows and lighting system), or was it part 2 (the cables and dials bit)? As previously stated by others, It is important that you firstly...

    Aspiring Train Driver aged 17

    Another way in is to join First as a Bus Driver (like I did) - this is not only a reasonably well paid job (compared to working in KFC etc!) - but will also give you relevant experience in the safety and customer service requirements of the role, form filling and accident reporting as well as...

    Driver Manager interview for FGW

    The email I got from First said as I had scored highly they would like to keep my application on file for a start date within the next 12 months. It did also say however that after 12 months my application will be discarded if I have not been allocated a position......hope this won't be the case.

    Driver Manager interview for FGW

    I asked in the interview if there was any idea on the start date, he couldn't tell me this, but did advise that if I pass (which I did - apparently with a high score), I will be put into a list for the next training programme but this may be a while and could be much later in the year as they...
