    Trainee Train Driver - Northern Rail, Leeds

    Got my interview next week. Speaking with some friends who have got an interview as well, we have all already passed psychometric testing etc with different toc/foc - has anybody got an interview who hasn't done any tests yet? Guys who have failed to get an interview - don't know your...

    MTR Crossrail - Now recruiting for Trainee & Qualified Drivers

    Thanks for that - makes sense. What if I got really high marks already - above and beyond what MTR expect? do you still have to redo? or is it just the tests that are unique to MTR. Thanks for all the help, greatly appreciated --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Sorry for the...

    MTR Crossrail - Now recruiting for Trainee & Qualified Drivers

    Thanks for that - thought I had just scraped through anyway, so no doubt would have to do them all again. Out of interest then - so I have 'passed' now, on the basis that you can only fail twice, how does it work if I was to fail these set of tests with MTR? is my pass disregarded? - it...

    MTR Crossrail - Now recruiting for Trainee & Qualified Drivers

    Looking at applying for the latest vacancy - after passing all stages with Freightliner to be let down by the government and taxation on coal. Anyway - does anybody have any idea how the stages work if you have already passed all the Psychometrics and MMI etc with a different company? Do you...

    Freightliner Intermodal after trainee drivers across UK

    Whatever happens - its a major downer :/ All this way, all this hard work to beat almost 7000 applicants, to now be (possibly) told that you are not progressing due to outside factors. Clearly not the companies fault, but absolutely gutting. (if that proves to be the case) I think there is...

    Freightliner Intermodal after trainee drivers across UK

    Not got mine until next week. Bit gutted that we have got this presentation and aptitude test - feels like a tie breaker scenario to me, a few of us do 'good' on the interview part, then they can fall back on the tests and presentation to decide the winner/s - which is fair enough, but would...

    Freightliner Intermodal after trainee drivers across UK

    Am not at Watford until next week - just booked the hotel now for the night before. I wonder why some have already gone to Watford then? Anybody else there next week? My email suggests that if we pass stage 2, then DMI will be 3rd week July! so not long off. Fingers crossed. Any...

    Got my pack,through the post. It says the testing is to be done at Watford - but the email, states Crewe, and supplies a full address of the venue. Obviously, I will make contact to confirm, but has anybody else had this as well?

    Mate - dont be dissapointed, the reason I was told 'June' was because I asked, simple as that.

    Freightliner Intermodal after trainee drivers across UK

    With so many applicants, it could be that they are making contact in phases.... --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Completley agree pal - especially when you consider that it can take several months, so you are not really sure if you have indeed 'failed' until a lot of time has...

    Freightliner Intermodal after trainee drivers across UK

    Whilst being reliable and hardworking is (IMHO) very important - it is surely not the only quality required, and if you can prove these qualities as an external applicant (references etc) but then also have a wealth of other qualities then surely it would make sense to hire the external...

    Freightliner Intermodal after trainee drivers across UK

    Telephone interview was not what I expected - managed to answer everything though so fingers crossed, but definately didnt 'nail it' Reference was made to the fact that people who had already passed the tests etc - and passed this paper sift of course - would be contacted at the same time as...
