MTR Crossrail Trainee Driver (Multiple Locations)

[Knowledgeboy]

Oh okay yeah some TOCs have individual tests but I’m pretty sure the VSE is part of the psychometric tests that are kept on record. I think one of the SJTs too so depends which one you mean.

Best of luck anyhow.

When I applied last year I was invited by email to complete an additional SJT and some form of vse through the opc website I think. It was some sort of imaginary train going around a track stopping at stations and you also had to keep a look out for something else. So bit of multi tasking. I failed this but passed the SJT.

Non of these tests that you are doing at home will be kept on records the only thing will be theyl have a record of it for 6 months so that you cannot re apply but after that you can do it again these VSE AND SJT are additional tests however these are not part of the phsycometrics so dont wori

Gidea Park depot vacancy has been removed. Old Oak may be up there a little longer as that’s a very big depot that needs filling up. Not to mention the launch of the Central Operating Section around the corner they’ll need all drivers on deck. Good luck guys

I was unsure about choosing between gidea park and ilford so just picked the closest one..! Hope that doesn’t turn out to be an error...

Did you say yes or no in the online questionnaire when it asked if you live within 40 minutes of the depot..?

Does anyone know if they will be recruiting for the Abbey Wood depot?

 

[Teddyward]

Done mine for gidea Park.
Unfortunately just found an old email from when I failed vse. Was 19th feb. I thought it was longer ago. O well.

Did you say yes or no in the online questionnaire when it asked if you live within 40 minutes of the depot..?

I said no - I'm about 60 minutes away so I'm expecting a no thanks, but its worth a try.

Congrats - any tips?

Hmmm, it's not timed so make sure you carefully read each question and think about your answers. Crossrail are extremely focused on the best customer service, but safety always remains of upmost importance obviously! And your colleagues are also very important too!

I answered with what I thought was best but whilst bearing in mind the role of a train driver and and expectations from Crossrail or any other TOC, it's hard not to think that way!
