    Vienna Tests

    If you type atavt into youtube there is an example video of that one. I don't know of any others personally.

    Vienna Tests

    Your TOC will have sent you some information in an email. This is assuming you’ve already applied and been told you’re doing those tests

    West Midlands Trains recruiting for Trainee Train Drivers!!

    Surely by now most TOCs know the volume of applications they are about to receive and could even set an hour when the application will close. e.g. they know they always get 400 to 600 applications within X hours.

    Newcastle conductor

    I've also looked at applying for this role and would be curious. I suspect it is Tyne Valley line, East Coast up to Chathill and the line down to Middlesborough.

    South Eastern Trainee Driver Assessment

    Good luck dude. Make sure you know a bit about each test before you arrive. Presumably you’ve been doing that anyway :D

    That makes a bit more sense now thanks for clearing that up. Guessing Euston needed a top up? :P

    Career change, IT to Railway

    As others have said they'll take anybody with the right abilities. If you want to give yourself a head start you could start learning about the test process but as others have said you have to pass the paper sift and often online tests first.

    A career as a train driver

    It sounds to me like you are talking about a Situational Judgement Exercise. These are common as part of the first stage of the recruitment process. I took one of these with Virgin recently and instantly received an automated email saying I'd failed it. A few days later I received another email...

    OK now I'm just confused, how many people did they recruit? Sounds like Swayed, Pudsey and RicharHA all got a Euston role?

    Would you like me to message you the phone number that Sam called me on?

    Ah fair enough congratulations to you dude. Did you attend on the 11th? I spoke to a few 19 years olds that day.

    I was called at 10am on Friday morning. My guess is that he was getting the rejection calls out of the way and then calling swayed and the other two but I could be wrong. He just said contact OPC to get results and wasn’t very specific.

    I have emailed them but I got an auto reply from “jo” saying she was out of the office til the 30th so I guess I have to wait a bit. What’s your situation?

    MMI & STRUCTURED

    There is a separate question about when you've dealt with an emergency so I think it is any rules and procedures. For you it could be what to do when a passenger has no ticket for example.

    Lucky me then. 4 lives instead of 2 :D I have contacted OPC to be certain though

    Relocation

    Cheers dude I’ve definitely learned a lot and of course I’ve got 7 passes in the bag. Just currently unsure if I have 1 attempt left or 3 because some use MMI instead of CBI.
