I hope those who wanted to apply have done so already.
Vacancy has just closed

Good luck

Its still open at the moment

If you remember one of the answers stated “immediately contact the signal, and ask them to not open the doors..”

Clearly that is an error as the signaller isn’t able to do that. Is it simply a trick question or worded incorrectly. It didn’t sit right with me

I chose the option to tell the guard not to open the doors then call the signaller. I passed the SJT and did the second assesment which I found a bit tricky.

What question did you get up to on the 2nd assessment?

What question did you get up to on the 2nd assessment?

Id managed to complete all questions on the 2nd assessment and havent had a rejection email but I put it down to luck than anything else. The 'true' answers were reasonable straight forward; it was the 'false' or 'unable to tell' which I struggled with and await the rejection email

This is a strange one because I didn’t have that as a second assessment. I had one where you have to check a table and double check if there were any errors and if there were I had to select which ones were different out of the options.

Oh, thats odd. Mine 2nd assessment was - VR1 - Verbal Reasoning (Apprenticeship, Graduate & Manager)

This thread just gets weirder. My 2nd assessment was simply just under the title ‘error checking’.

They might just randomly have different assessments, unless which 2nd assessment you do is based on the results of the 1st.

Just signed up to forum so I could reply to this thread. I also got error checking as the 2nd assessment. There were 50 questions in this section with a 10 minute time limit. I got about halfway before I timed out. Not sure whether you were expected to be able to complete it in the time given. If so, I was pretty terrible at it. I feel like I got 100% accuracy though. No email yet. So who knows.

I done the first assessment last night and still not received a rejection email. I've only done one assessment, did not do 2 so could that mean I've maybe failed as well?

It's clear LNER don't have any kind of logical system... who knows, maybe you'll be offered a DMI tomorrow

 

[Dave19801980]

As with anything involving recruitment on here......there is usually no rhyme or reason as to how this process is managed.....we just have to keep our fingers crossed (and a little bit of luck) that our CV experience and the way in which we answered the assessments is enough to progress.

There is also the matter of maybe grouping applicants in to 4 sections:

1. Someone with no experience of the railway (but i’m sure a very relevant CV)

2. Someone who has passed the psychometric testing with another TOC and is therefore entitled to skip to the interview stage (assuming even those scores meet LNER’s standards - and who knows what they are!!)

3. Someone who already works in the industry but in a non-driving role.

4. Someone who is already working for a TOC in a driving role such as a shunter/depot driver who wants to progress further with another TOC.

Yes same. Managed to do about 32. What about you?

 

[Marshall91]

Just finished the error checking test after the sjt, think I may have only finished around 20 questions although im sure I had 100 percent accuracy as some questions had 3-4 errors.

 

[DA1]

Yes same. Managed to do about 32. What about you?

Yes exactly the same, 32. 10 mins flew by!

Help with SJT? What type of answers?

Or just don’t speak to them when you see them in the messroom...

Does anyone else’s application say interview but then when you click on it there’s no dates showing?

 

[61264]

Quick question. I’ve done the application but I didn’t see anything to choose which depot you wanted? Have I missed it or was it not on this application?

had the same as you, reminded me of TRP Part 2 (“Dials” Test) but with tables of information instead of dials

I just did the error checking, 50 questions and 10 minutes to do it in. I did not even get half way, so I think that's my chance out the window.

 

[43066]

Speaking from experience

Yup!

2nd attempt at SJT. Rejected again.

How did you get a 2nd attempt?

 

[Caad12]

Went through tests this morning - reached end of tests with no Result given. Don’t know if this means I’ve made it through or if Results known later today.
