They will have had only a few vacancies in particular depots and more candidates have met the grade for those particular depots than expected. But they want that situation ( which is frustrating being put in holding pool but trust me much better than no obviously) as rather than put another...

Download reaction apps for your phone or tablet to sharpen up reactions ( first test, flashing square ). Second test, I googled traffic scenes and literally got my partner to hold up my phone for a split second to test what I could see ( cars, traffic lights etc). Third test, joysticks (...

Don’t be disheartened if you are placed in the holding pool guys, I was placed in it and and a month later was emailed to attend 3rd assessment. My advice would be keep practicing and preparing for the computer tests and MMI as it could be on you before you know it

Thanks A lot, Yeah, given its obviously a safety critical job that's understandable. I guess its pre match nerves on my part, I got the job and start shortly and I'm excited beyond belief about it but just worry about the training aspect. Not that im not confident in my own ability or anything...

Perhaps a daft (or not) question. Has anyone ever heard of anyone failing their training? Not so much pulling out of the course or the job but literally not been shown competent at the end of their training?

Guys Can I also ask how are scotrail with honouring a pre booked holiday? I am due to start in April and have 10 days booked in November for a trip to the states, all paid for. Will they be okay with this given it would be my first year?

Thanks a lot, If you have a scim back through this thread, there is loads of different information with regards to what is involved. Make sure you read through the booklet that they send you as it is exactly what you will be doing on the day ( from intro to computer tests until the end) In...

Finally got a date next Monday for my MMI and 2nd assessments. Anyone got any tips or advice? I’m most worried about the traffic picture one to be honest.. any help would be great

What depots is everyone in for that have been through/starting the assessments?

Yeah fingers crossed, couldn’t think of anything worse if 6 months goes by and no joy! How many where at your final assessment?

Nice one mate! I’m still in the pool but glad to see someone else moving forward

Did you manage to get out of the reserve pool mate?

Just wondering (mainly for own peace of mind and sanity), is there anyone on here who applied roughly back in June/July for Edinburgh/Bathgate and have recently completed their DMI and have been placed in the reserve pool? Or been rejected (if you don’t mind saying) or been put through to the...

I’m in the same boat mate. Just emailed to ask, I see some people got the job ( or at least got to the next stage) and others didn’t. Just all depends but I do worry it’s just void after 6 months
