    EU national applying for trainee Driver position

    In terms of written assessments prior to being offered a position, there really isn't likely to be anything you need to 'write' and submit at all. The assessments are mostly a) b) c) d) answers. Keep positive - if you pass this interview, then the assessments and MMI you will get a place in a...

    Standard & Enhanced Pass

    Pretty sure Northern are standard, with Transpennine, Arriva and East Midlands being enhanced. However, on speaking to OPC they have said that 'enhanced' pass marks all vary depending on the TOC.

    Train Operators who consider relocation

    TPE: First Group UK Careers: 6 Trainee Driver opportunities arise

    Thanks very much for posting - wouldn't have spotted this one. Does anyone know if TPE require enhanced passes at OPC stage 1 and whether they require the DFFT (Driver fault finding test)? Thanks in advance

    ATW Trainee Drivers

    Much appreciated. Does anyone know if ATW accept 'relocators' or do you have to live within the hour commute already? Thanks

    Guard eye test

    I believe they will ask you to do distance reading with each eye separately, so if your 'reading' eye doesn't meet the distance minimum then I'd assume you wouldn't pass. Safer to wear normal contacts or glasses for the test I would think...

    ScotRail Qualified and Trainee Drivers Jobs

    Hi, does anyone have any experience of Scotrail in terms of relocation? The application asks if you live within 45mins of the station, but doesn't decline you immediately if you say no. Just wondering if there's any point filling in the very lengthy application if it's just going to sift me out...

    Thanks for the info everyone - it's appreciated :D Swayed - was the short sighted test each eye separately or both together? Dynamonic - what the heck?! Sounds like something from Star Trek. Ps. Hope you get good news soon.
