Interesting thread. I'm another ex Met copper who now drives trains. And I can definately relate to a lot of what has been discussed and stated previously. I left the job to pursue a completely different career path after 17 years, I wasn't at the point where I hated the job but it was always my...

Unlike many who've reported on this forum, I've found recruitment to be extremely efficient (I did AC1 on 02nd May and AC2 on 10th May). Likewise mate. AC1 results after 2 working days, AC2 results after 3 working days..... I was most impressed!

I was told that mine will be between 13 and 16 weeks......

It should be one of the top two sticky threads on this jobs forum. If you sift through it, you will find a download to store on your computer so you can practice as much as you wish..... and funny enough, I'm the opposite to the other poster previous as I find the SCAAT harder!!!!

I'm not 100% certain, so best do your own research, but I was under the impression that age, for the purpose of recruitment and employment, falls under the 'protected characteristics', along with sex, marital status, sexual orientation, religion etc etc, and therefore shouldn't be asked about...

Thanks for that answer, much appreciated pal

I believe train handovers are mostly done at stations where you book on and off. Thanks for the info pal

No mate, it's all there for you. There really are no curve balls on the day, just make sure you practice, practice, practice the material they've provided, so that you fully understand the concepts of what they are asking. And that's it really. Learn to understand the practice material, and...

Thanks pal

Just doing some prep/research for AC2 and hoping someone can throw some light on a question please... Do you always parade for work to book on/off at the start/finish of your shift at your home depot, and are all train handovers therefore done at the depot? Or is there a relief handover...

It's actually pretty impressive how fast you've got through all these selection assessments, well done fella! Did they give you any idea when your course would be if you were successful?

Mate, if you start second guessing yourself like this, you'll drive yourself nuts!!! The job advert is still live, and sometimes there appears to be no logic applied to the order in which the applicants are assessed....... although I'm sure that HR have their methods!!!! If it helps put your...

Does anyone know how many potential vacancies there are this time around?

Likewise, I received the same response when I enquired......

I applied Sunday night, email come through about an hour ago....

I've had an email asking me to confirm how much notice I'd be required to give, as it stated they were trying to plot training dates, if successful during the assessment phase. Once this form was submitted, it said expect to get the results of your SJT within 2 to 3 weeks. So I think most...

Thanks for the confirmation, all I noticed when I skimmed through yesterday was a minimum of 15 hrs.

Does anyone know if there will be an opportunity to increase the part time hours, or working any additional day shifts midweek?

thanks for the heads up on this round of recruitment..... no doubt it will be popular!

Likewise..... I did email them end of Feb asking for any sort of update, as my homepage hadn't changed either, and received a reply saying it could take between 3 weeks and 4 months to contact all candidates. I guess realistically that timeline could be extended depending if they were...
