Got an email through yesterday with a provisional start date of 13th September. It’s starting to feel real now.

Hi Lee Sorry about the late reply on this. First of all, massive congratulations on passing. I received an email yesterday from HR asking to me to attend a medical in a fortnight. They haven’t given me a start date, but I assume they have one in mind, should I pass my medical. If you want to...

Again, thank you. Yeah, it doesn’t seem logical does it? Especially when you consider that if it’s the paper tests you don’t pass, then you only resit the ones you failed, so why not the same for the computer ones?

Thanks very much. I had read that theory somewhere on this forum, it may have been you actually, on another thread, so I clarified that with HR before the test. Their response was that I only resit the parts that I have previously failed and that I had not already sat. I was happy to hear that...

I’ve never known of it in 4 years of being on the railway

Thanks Sb

Yeah, I guess you’re right

Who did you do your tests with? I only had one test to do (2 hand coordination), and then the MMI. I’ve read some horror stories about the MMI, but I actually found it quite enjoyable, the person interviewing me was really nice too.

Hi guys Had my psychometrics on Tuesday and absolutely buzzing to say that I passed and that I am now in the talent pool awaiting a start date. Although I applied for Hull, the other three candidates on Tuesday were for Newcastle and were all internal, as was I. Having spoken to the guys from...

I’ve heard back, had the interview and now just waiting for a date for the psychometric

I applied for Hull back in January. That’s why I originally commented on this post, as to give some insight into timeline for the process. It seems like Newcastle and Darlington are moving quicker than Hull did in terms of turnaround time.

Thanks man.

Hi Apologies about the delay in replying, I’ve only just seen this. I sat my interview on May 4th and found out on the 16th May that I’d been successful, so now just waiting on the date for the psychometric. As has been previously mentioned, this has to take place within 3 weeks. I’m on...

Hi I’m a guard working for Northern. There has been a noticeable increase in the number of passengers travelling and with more people staying in the UK for holidays this year, I think we will experience high numbers of leisure travellers, especially during the summer holidays. In terms of...

Hi Really sorry to hear that. I’m in a similar position with Northern. I failed the two handed coordination last August. I have an interview again next week and if I pass that then I go through to psychometric testing where I only have to do that one test again, and then the MMI. I know that...

Evening guys I applied for the Trainee Driver role in Hull for Northern, when it was advertised on January 29th. I got an email on the 19th April inviting me for interview on the 4th May. If my application is anything to go by, then that’s roughly 10 weeks from the application deadline to...

Your MMI is usually part of your Psychometric Testing. I’d be very surprised if the video interview was classed as your MMI. Congratulations on getting through.

Occupational Psychology Centre. They’re based in Watford but they can send their staff anywhere really. Had mine in a Leeds hotel. A lot of TOC’s outsource the psychometric testing and it’s usually OPC who administer them. DB also do it based in Doncaster and some companies do it in house.

Hi Jack Again, that’s you’re opinion which you’re wholly entitled to, which I respect. On reflection, my questions at the end of my original post were petty and slightly immature. However, I think the overall theme, although not presented well, is valid. The OP contradicts himself in my...

That’s fine. That’s your opinion and you’re more than welcome to it.
