Roughly speaking it's 3 months at training academy including learning different traction at depots and then you'll be sent off to your own depot and will be paired up with a DI. How long it takes to get your minimum days/hours depends on the depot. How quickly your DTM can assess you on all your...

TPE, Cross Country and ScotRail all allow relocation after they've employed you. No need to be within 45mins/1hour at point of applying, just state on application you're willing to relocate and ensure you've done research on areas to show you are serious when it's brought up in interview. No...

It's deemed as a pass or a fail as if you perform poorly you'll fail to pass the stage 2 psychometrics and progress no further. If all candidates passed psychometrics then HR will collate their assessment scores along with interview scores/feedback and select the best performing candidates and...

Use the group bourdon tool on here and the practice material provided by the TOC and that's all you'll need. Don't waste your money on websites that claim they'll prepare you for it as the practice material provided is plenty good enough. No, SCAAT isn't used for driver psychometrics. Where have...

No, checks/sales only carried out by TE/Conductors who have received 1 to 1 training on new equipment for ticket sales and only to be carried out if deemed by the TE/Conductor that it is "safe to do so". If service is too busy to allow social distancing when passing through the train then no...

No, as long as you start your first day as a trainee driver with valid psychometrics and interview then that's it. Never need to worry about that again unless you change TOC/FOC and they want you to sit tests/interviews. To be clear, by 'First day' I don't mean out driving, I mean sitting doing...

Psychometrics are valid for 5 years but ScotRail only take them up to 3 years old. If you haven't started by the 3 years being up you'll need to resit them.

No, what's being discussed are psychometric tests. What you have mentioned is a situational judgement exercise which is a type of psychometric test but all the tests being discussed are psychometric assessments. In general, psychometric tests usually consist of: Aptitude Tests- which assess...

Basic literacy. After that, no qualifications I can think of. You don't even need to have a driving licence. You could have X amount of degrees in varying disciplines but it won't count for much if you don't have demonstrable qualities they are looking for.

First week will be company induction including fire, first aid, manual handling, general company do & don't, HR will visit and take questions and is really just a welcome and get to know others in your class in a relaxed, slow paced environment. 2nd week you'll be joined by any internal...

Wear a suit, if it's too formal lose the jacket and even the tie if needs be but better to turn up a little overdressed and look smart than be the guy who didn't bother on his first day. First impressions count.

Stage 2 assessments are well documented on here and on other threads so I won't bother going through it all in detail again as the info is already here but you will do situational judgement questions, computer tests, and if you pass those you'll do the MMI that same day. The medical is a...

Chances are they won't contact your referees until after you've started and it will be HR they want the details of as it's just a basic check to see you worked there when you said you did. I wouldn't be too concerned but contact Northern HR to check what they're after and it will put your mind...

Wrong, if a position arises you're suitable for you'll be contacted to see if you're still interested. If psychometrics are less than 3years old (ScotRail take them to be valid for 3 years not the 5 years that they're actually valid for) you won't need to resit but DMI will be a resit as...

If you mean where will the trainee driver course be taught then all of them start in Glasgow with induction for externals, then internals join the class for 3 months doing rules and a couple of other things.

The one that says Personal Track Safety, it's NR9922

Just what traction runs from the depot you'll be based from. Electric/diesel/both and what they are- 314/320/334/380/385/156/158/170/HST. Also the routes from the depot and all stations on the routes, the earliest and latest book on/off times for your depot and all the other stuff mentioned on...

I have to second this. ALL the info and materials you need to pass the psychometrics is provided in the pack from TOC/FOC that you will sit assessments with. The only exception could be the free Group Bourdon on here which is maybe worth a shot of just to get yourself used to the shapes of the...

OPC/TOC/FOC (whoever is running it) will provide pen and pencil for each candidate and will stipulate which has to be used for each test. Failure to listen and adhere to what they tell you is viewed as the candidate being unable to listen and take instruction (a basic but much needed...

Sundays are outside the working week so are therefore overtime when you are rostered one. How often you get one is down to the roster in the depot so there's no definitive answer on how many you get in a year as it varies between depot. You can take the payment for working it or take the £75...
