You still have both lives remaining if you passed to standard. You can try multiple times to get enhanced, you only loose a life if you retake and fail to meet standard. Your last score is your current score.

A lot of people have the opinion you are wrong to feel the way you do. My opinion is that it surprises me but not at the same time. My angle on it, you wasn’t assuming you had every right to the job, you simply stated your surprise at not getting passsed the sift. Train tocs openly admit to...

Yeh, spot on. My error.

Not sure anyone will post one mate, prob due to internal issues and also bare in mind data protection. Rostas have names on them, not just dates, job numbers and times. Think Someone above gave a good example for Northern. (On the west side that is, east is a different matter)

Great feedback guys, thanks for that.

Hi all, Quick question, any drivers/conductors/train managers ever stay in digs overnight? I assumed that staff started and returned to their depot at end of every shift but a couple of posts on here have got me asking this question. Appreciate all answers, no matter how short

Hi Luca, Firstly, welcome to the site. Currently the only way to become a train driver is through a Train operating company. You cannot get training any other way. This means securing a job as a trainee, unfortunately this job role in the uk is very hard to come by due to the amount of...

Thanks all, some great posts. Encouraging to know. To answer some...." if you want to be a driver then just apply for that and not conductor" well the short of it is, no! At present I don't want to be a driver. I like to mix with the general public and deliver a great service, hopefully...

Hello, Any advise on how easy/hard it is to go from conductor to driver? or even train manager? Just how easy or hard is it to swap between tocs? (in same roles) just asking as i like to know my career choices and options before i pursue a career in this industry. thanks.

"How long"? There are people who have started within days of passing and others still waiting after months, some over 6 month. It really is just a waiting game, it's dependant on so many factors. Well done all the same, just sit tight and be patient, lol. Easier said than done I know! Which...

Thanks everyone, much appreciated.

hi fella, have you passed the assessment? if so when did they tell you? i had mine on the 18th too. mine was for conductor based at doncaster. adam

Thank you. My main questions you and others have answered. This forum is so useful and helpful.

Thank you so much. So your saying total 20 days? Thought they where mostly allocated so all seems good. Can I also ask, how is pay worked out for Sunday's and bank holidays? Just feel more comfortable asking you kind people rather than at interview. Also, great to see there are...

Hello everyone Any Northern conductors out there able to answer a question or two? 1 Do employees get free travel on all services operated by parent company arriva? Or is it just Northern and gc. 2 What are the holiday/annual leave entitlements and how are they allocated? Choose your...

Hi, Do you mind if I ask what company you are with and what is the holiday entitlement ? Didn't wanna ask at interview, not the best question. Have just been informed that I have passed the assessment and interview process, a start date to be allocated in future Thanks Adam

Hi, Sorry to hear the news. What seems to be the problem? Thought you would have been given a position by now. Fingers crossed mate.

It was for a talent pool, not a particular job offer. I was told that I seemed to overpowering in the group role play. Personally I thought I was just showing initiative and team building, I always asked for EVERYONES input and thoughts after I suggested anything. Very strange outcome, not...

Think you misunderstood. I mean, how long is the "pass marks" valid for? I have heard 2 and someone else told me 3 years. Don't think I am required to wait 6 months. That applies to something else I believe, could be wrong mind.

Hi all, Recently attended an assessment day with emt. Just received my results from the "scaat" and "raat" tests that I took on the day. I passed them both, but wasn't successful (probably tried that little bit too hard l) Anyone know how long the tests are valid for? Thanks in advance...
