Well done for getting through the sift. I sat shunter assessment for GTR, didnt go through the DMI and when I came to apply for trainee driver with them I didn't have to do the assessments as my shunter ones covered these. So my guess is they are identical. Good luck with them though. All...

Thank you, I'll crack on with this tonight. Never done an online version before so will have a stab at the practise material on here. Keep the faith, I know a driver at Norwood that has hearing aids in both ears and is in his 70's.

Do you get a practise run before it loads to the actual test?

I phoned up yesterday and even though you've passed the assessments this is another way of filtering through the applications prior to assessments and/or interviews

Surely if you've already passed the assessments, you have already proven yourself on this test?

:lol: that tickled me for some reason.

Merged with another company from Spain and now they operate in US, Spain here and somewhere else.

With GTR you're allowed your home station and your place of work. You used to be entitled to 3 stations if your job permitted but now yoire only allowed 2 (something in which is going to be difficult for me as I require 3 stations but they keep rejecting). If you're role is GPR then you're...

Glad to hear it. Can't remember the sort of questions during the interview. Started off with the usual why did you apply for this role, what do you know about the company, what do you know about the role. You get the usual competency based questions "tell me a time you had to......" I do have a...

Scrap that, it's back on now. Must have been my phone messing around

I know that in the assessment there is a role play and it varies what type you get. I'll be speaking with him later and get as much info as possible that could be useful. Which TOC is it got as hes with Southern

This is something I have never managed to grasp. You remove some of the guards, revenue and conductors and they become OBS. Then the new guys come in on as an OBS and earn the same for less responsibility. However I do the see importance of both and are in no way saying they OBS role isn't...

They have a special key for that stops the driver locking them out. Has caught a few people out when the driver 'accidently' closes the doors when the OBS hasn't pit their key in

Sell tickets on DOO services, assisted travel, step off at each station to look for any assistance required. Basically a guard without PTS and you don't control the doors

I'll ask him later on, so it's just ehat to expect in the assessments and any pointers to help?

I know what you mean, I've always worn suit and tie for these things and it is usually common practise. Have seen a couple in questionable clothing and I didn't see them at the end of the assessments. After sitting 2 of the OBS assessments and passing them, everyone has also worn suit and tie...

Brother in law is currently an REO, has been fairly recent to join (within the last year). I can fire him some questions of you like?

All sorted now, I've done the exact same thing before but I can't put my finger on where. Maybe the assessment day but I know those questions have come up before. Very open to debate in my opinion some of the choices but again I may have messed up :'(
