    Avanti - Trainee Train Drivers - Multiple Locations (28/02/23)

    Applied to Polmadie and yesterday got my rejection email from the OPC after initial tests. Obviously gutted but I won't dwell on it too much. Hopefully someone can clarify - three years ago I applied to Transpenine for trainee driver and went to the in person testing in Leeds and failed. I've...

    Apprentice Train Driver - Crosscountry - Multiple Locations (09/02/2021)

    Me too! Did your email read along the lines of they recommend you check your emails regularly for updates and they aim to be in touch in the next 2 to 4 weeks with an update on the application? I assume we've all received the same standard email to acknowledge the application but wanted to ask.

    Apprentice Train Driver - Crosscountry - Multiple Locations (09/02/2021)

    I applied to a trainee driver role with Transpennine and sat their first stage in Jan 2020. I believe I passed all the tests that day to national standard but not to enhanced standard which was what they were looking for. Am i right in saying this stays on file for 3 years? I didn't notice...

    Apprentice Train Driver - Crosscountry - Multiple Locations (09/02/2021)

    Applied there. Took about 15mins and was a CV and some questions about me and my rights to work in the UK etc. No email confirmation either. Good luck to everyone who applied!

    Scotrail recruitment

    I know someone who is a trainee driver with Scotrail and since March they have paused everything including recruitment. They dont have a date suggesting when they will be back at work yet so I imagine if you passed the group bourdon in Feb you should hopefully hear something positive later in...

    Scotrail Trainee Drivers (Ongoing)

    It wasn't ideal but not the worst place to drive to. I didn't expect them to have assessments up here when most of the roles were for north England.

    Scotrail Trainee Drivers (Ongoing)

    Where did you do these tests? I was down in Leeds last month doing assessments with TPE so I assume Scotrail is more local to home.

    Does anyone know to what level Scotrail/Abellio look for in the assessment stages? Is it national or enhanced standard?

    TPE trainee drivers

    Just got my feedback call from the OPC based on my first stage assessment on 10 Jan. I failed on the TRP1 the GLOP test. I only passed this to national standard but passed the rest to enhanced. OPC said if I reapply to TPE I would only need to sit the TRP1 GLOP test to then get to stage two...

    TPE trainee drivers

    I sat the first stage in Leeds last Friday and just got an email to say I was unsuccessful. I am going to wait 3/4 weeks to get specific feedback from the OPC - recommended to do this by the assessor on the day. Good luck to those still in the mix with the rest of the process. I will be...

    I applied for Glasgow yeah. Had my first assessment stage last Friday. How about you?

    TPE trainee drivers

    Must have changed the documents they ask for on this round of assessments because it was in the email they sent when I confirmed my assessment date. It sounds harsh but I guess they have a process for a reason.
