Yes as that was my only attempt for a train driver role, I'm not exactly sure how long the results are valid for with TPE? it will be 3yrs this December coming since I took mine with them. I bought a couple of practice books that really helped loads, think with the GB it can be a bit of a mine...

Yes I did the tests for a train driver with TPE, went down to Leeds....ironically the train I'd booked travel down to Leeds on was with TPE and it got cancelled!!! I was at the train station thinking...is this a sign!! ‍ ha. I passed all the tests enhanced but only got a standard pass on the GB...

I found doing these tests online in the comfort of your home makes a massive difference from when your in a room full of strangers in a hotel conference room who are all as nervous as yourself, it's not a nice feeling at all, but then that's part of the test....seeing how you manage under...

Hiya Feaky4, Yes I completed the two online tests, and like yourself I've not heard anything back yet. Good luck to you as well L-J

I recieved an email about 9 days ago saying I had been shortlisted and that I would be sent an email link in order to log in and complete the tests, along with the email they had attached some practice material for the tests. No further information was given for what happens after I had...

I was curious about the verbal reasoning assessment as I'd never actually done one before, had a look on Google and found this, just thought that some of you may have been as curious as I was as to what the assesser is looking for.

It's a good company to work for.

This is the acknowledgement email I received.

I received an email acknowledgement from Grand Central about an hour after I applied, just confirming that they had received my application and that they would be in touch within the next 2 to 4 weeks to update me on my application.

Hi, I applied for the Trainee Driver position in Sunderland with Grand Central last night, just wondering if anyone else has?

I've finally received the feedback from my stage 1 assessment in Leeds(18th December assessment) they had already informed me that I hadn't gotten through to the next stage a couple of wks back, but I had asked if they could give me some feedback on my results, I am over the moon with how I did...

I replied to the email they'd sent me, plus I also sent an email requesting feedback with the email link within the email they'd sent me, this was on Friday, I've just received an email containing my feedback. I didn't pass the Group Bourdon test, but they've asked me to apply again in 6 months...

Hiya Davye, I recieved the same email today, but I'm wanting to get feedback on my assessment, who do I phone to find out? Would you be able to PM me with an OPC contact number? As I saw in your reply that you'd spoken with them today...I can't PM you. Thanks.

Hiya Comfy, I applied for Newcastle, sat my assessment December 18th, still not heard anything back yet.

I use to work for Northern Railway as a train presentation Operative(cleaner) permanent nights, they pay £19,795 but that does include the shift allowance. Its damn hard work and that type of job does tend to have a big turnover as alot of people find the work & permanent nights too hard.

Just to let people know that TPE have been cancelling their trains this morning mine being one of them, I'm travelling from Durham, their tickets aren't valid on any other services at the moment, so I've had to buy another ticket so that I can get down in time for the 12.15 assessment.

Just want to wish everyone who is sitting their assessments today & tomorrow all the best of luck.

Hiya Aristo, I applied for Newcastle, I was emailed about 6ish last night inviting me for an assessment next week in Leeds, and as Dunfordbridge mentioned in his last post, it will still be on going until February 2020, maybe they are doing it in groups.

Yup me :D LJ
