Hoping you have a better result this time!
How have you managed to do it? Is there a live link somewhere?

Does anyone know khow much the London based drivers are on? I see that in the regions its about £44k??
Just had a phone interview this afternoon and got an e-mail 15 minutes later saying I passed .

The first online test is competency based questions which are scenarios a train driver would potentially be in. E.g. Kids are playing near the line, what do you do? And then you get 3 options for an answer.
The second test is a memory based test. It shows you a sequence of letters, then asks you to pick out the same pattern in a choice of 5/6 options. The sequences get longer and the time lessens as the test progresses. Definitely need a good mouse to do it.
Hi Srich82,
Congratulations on passing the phone interview, I passed mine this afternoon, happy is an understatement.
Have they given you an assessment date yet?
Thank you, I suppose the longer it takes the more time to practice for the assessments.Thanks mate and well done to you too .
I haven't heard anything yet, I imagine they'll be doing interviews for the rest of the week so they probably haven't scheduled a date for assessments yet.
If there's one thing I learnt from other posters it's that the application is a long process.
I am not former talent pool, I completed the second test last Thursday evening and had a reply on Tuesday afternoon this week. As they opened the advert up again I'd imagine they have more to go through so response periods may be longer.Just wondering if anyone new (Not talent pool) who put in for the vacancy at various locations have heard anything after conducting the 2 online tests

Hi guys
I've completed 2 online assessments. Actually last one was done yesterday. I'm wondering how long does it take to get any info regarding if I pass or fail? Is anyone able to give me the rough idea how the phone interview look like?

Had a phone interview today, didn't think it went that well but I passed, it said on the reply that if too many passed it only the strongest candidates would be advanced, is that a generic message or an indication that my interview wasn't that strong?
Complete speculation and assumption here.....
But if that is the generic response with a caveat stating that basically only the strong candidates will survive, surely there is a risk that everybody receives a pass notification and then once the phone interviews are complete a further cull will take place?
Or am I reading too much into it?
Thanks srich82!
Ewie13, the thought crossed my mind too, its a tricky position because the 'pass' is valid for 6 months so if another ad went out for the west depots we could automatically reapply, but then, if it wasn't good enough now it probably won't be good enough then either.
After the 2 online tests were you guys informed by email that you would get the telephone interview ?
A friend has had an email telling him he didn't pass the tests,I've had nothing and I applied before him.

Also if I do get a call,what sort of things were you asked ?
Hi Guys
I'm looking at the career path of train driver but dot really have any idea where to start apart from using google......can anyone help.
Thanks
Hi all,
Just wondered if anybody has heard anything in the past week regarding assessment dates?
Nothing since confirmation that I passed the phone interview 2 weeks ago tomorrow, the application status still shows as 'application submitted', that suggests to me that they aren't finished with the telephone interviews yet.
