Stallion I feel for you man. These tests will make or break people by the sounds of them. I too am a bus driver and looking to move on from that to trains but from reading these comments about all these tests really makes me feel really anxious. I just hope all the tests you done are relevant to the job. I can't stand tests which are crap like "two train leave station C at the same time what time will blah blah"
if you have test coming up don't worry about. its ok. they are not hard just intense. in the sense you just need to concentrate a lot. just revise and do as much preparation as you can. i am actually ok. i have passes all my mandatory test. i don't need to do the tests again. but the only problem is, i think, i have to wait 6 months to reapply to other companies. if train companies who don't do the VSE test i can just apply and start training, if they don't have their own tests. and the interview of course. so i have done well.

i am happy that tests are over for me. need any help just message me. will try my best to help

Unfortunately, on this occasion you have not been successful.
If you wish to re-apply to us or to another rail company, you will be able to do so once six months have elapsed and if we are advertising for the role.
Please note that as per the railway standards, any applicant who fails part of the assessment process twice is prohibited from completing the process again.
We wish you all the best in your search for employment.
