    Group Bourdon Test.

    Not sure if it's any help, but I found it easier if I kept my right hand (I'm right handed) out of the way of the next groups in the row so that I could scan ahead for any groups of 4, rather than reacting to any that were uncovered as my hand went over the top of them...hope that makes sense!

    Tyne and Wear Metro recruiting new trainee drivers

    Hi all, for those of you who started recently, what sort of dress code is there when you first start? Do you get uniform straight away? What stationary stuff have you needed so far? I don't want to go out a buy loads of new stuff if I won't need it!

    I did a test at Doncaster back in early Dec, but failed on the last test! That was for DB. Was absolutely gutted! Hopefully it's a good sign, not just something to keep us occupied!

    Trainee driver roles DB Cargo Perterlee and Dollands Moor

    Looks promising, there were only 2 of us there for Peterlee a couple of weeks ago. The assessment rooms only had space for about 5 people so maybes doing them in batches...unfortunately I failed, but not sure how the other person got on...they got further than me tho...good luck

    Had my assessment for the Peterlee position today. All was going really well, but unfortunately failed at the joysticks stage...took too long apparently. Bit gutted as on the practice papers it said there was no time limit... Needless to say it was a long drive home...

    Trainee driver roles DB Cargo Perterlee and Dollands Moor

    Has anyone else had an email regarding assessments in Doncaster on the 10th / 11th Dec? I just applied last week so was quite surprised to get a response so soon... Does anyone also know whether the assessments in Doncaster are the same for a driver role as what you would do for a shunter /...
