    Trainee driver beep test

    Just stay composed and be present in the moment. The examples on YouTube are a lot faster than in the real test to be honest. I would focus on memory, looking at traffic images and remembering what you see. E.g pedestrians

    Telephone directory assessment

    I had a similar query to do with the restaurant task. I found that I did have to read the text as some were there to trip you up as not all were technically restaurants, some were bnbs etc. I passed the day anyway and those that didn’t do that didn’t get through the first stage. So not sure if...

    DLR Passenger Service Agent

    Got the same email. And equally had second thought on this job due to the fact it’s not a train driving job and therefore not transferable to other TOCs, which I would like for progression.

    Trainee Driver Vacancies - SWR - Fratton, Guildford, Waterloo & Woking.

    Although. I have seen an advert for a Driver Manager, Waterloo. So potentially they may not fill Waterloo positions, until they find a new DM?

    Southern Trainee Train Drivers

    Hey, it went well. Was pretty tough to be honest and didn’t know how well I did. But I passed. So that’s something. Just preparing for MMI

    Southern Trainee Train Drivers

    Always accuracy over speed. I did it a couple of months ago so can’t really remember but I feel like I may have done around 6 or 7 lines. Good luck!

    Southern Trainee Train Drivers

    Hey, So it’s all letters from what I can remember and about two tests I think. Have a look on the OPC website they have a practice one which was very similar to the online MiniSCAAT. Not sure how long but I feel I did go quite quickly. But was pretty simple once you get a feel for it.

    If you click on your applications on the GTR website, then go to 'your applications', then click the actual link of the Job 'Trainee train driver' it will come up with the original job posting. Under that, there are two documents - Job profile document, and Supplementary Information. The latter...

    DLR Passenger Service Agent

    I’m not entirely sure if they are the same tests as the PSA role isn’t techinically the same as the ‘train driver’ role. There are some posts somewhere deep in this forum that say the tests involve listening to radio communications, and some different testing. They may have changed it however...

    Work Experience for Year 10

    There were some work experience opportunities with Southern about a month ago. It was posted on their website (GTR Careers). It has been taken down, but it doesn’t hurt to email the company and explain your intentions and that you would like to gain some insight into the industry. They may be...

    Southern Trainee Train Drivers

    Eeeesh, so a year waiting was wishful thinking i see... I applied for Metro and coastal, but I’m more near Selhurst/Norwood depots. Guess I’ll keep my day job for longer then... how long have you been waiting?

    Southern Trainee Train Drivers

    Good luck too! I was literally so anxious prior to the assessments, but honestly they weren’t as bad as it seems. Just remember to read all questions properly and listen to the assessor. I found the computer tests hard with the joystick and remembering the traffic scenes. But managed to make it...
