Wow, thank you - could have very much been on the wrong track there. Will be doubling efforts on researching Scotrail over the next several days.
Congratulations mate
2 weeks ago. Heard nothing since then
Got email today for next Tuesday
Congratulations & good luck
Yes buddy that's definitely your DMI. Not only will you be expected to know about ScotRail, but also Yoker specifically. Make sure you're familiar with traction & routes.

Good luck!
That was quick. I'm 4+ weeks from DMI now and still waiting on an email. Good Luck with the tests.

Different Driver Depot, Route and Traction cards
One of the most common questions asked on this forum is what do train crew at a particular depot sign. Given we have an excellent thread listing every depot for every TOC in the country, and we have staff representing most if not all TOCs as well, I've been attempting to collate a list of every...
After almost 6 weeks of waiting for my DMI result, I was invited for Assessment 2, so I guess I passed! Assessment 2 result was 1 day later, and medical the following day. There's really no way to gauge the recruitment timescales. Just hang in there!
How did you find the second assessments?
It was 6 weeks between DMI & Assessment 2, I was just never notified that I'd passed! No start date yet, another test of patience!
I found a lot of useful things on YouTube - a full squares test and a Vienna traffic tutorial. I found I missed road signs the most, so concentrated on looking for them first, everything else I just naturally noticed.
Sorry to hear that, what did you feel didn't go well if you don't mind me asking.
As far as I’m aware the first assessment results are valid for 3 or 5 years. In same boat as yourself but I passed DMI and failed 1 of the 3 computer assessments. My 6 months were up in May, I’ve had some emails from recruitment about resitting final assessments but it’s a waiting game just now as they’re snowed under with applications etc
What assessment did you fail on?
Being brutally honest I was completely unprepared for the DMI - I had mostly thought about issues that are probably more attuned to the MMI, but also had only a week between the invitation and the interview with shifts already booked right up until the night before, so no time to be able to even try to speak to someone at the local depot, or ask questions here to pad out any other information I could absorb about Scotrail. I realised this within a minute of starting the interview and was unable to wing it on any front. Gutted but I now have slightly over 4 months to work on making a better case for my candidacy next time.
The flashing squares. Was doing it correctly then half way through I started changing what I was doing. 11 months on and it’s still a sore one as I still don’t understand why I changed what I was doing. Hopefully get the chance to do it again in the near future
Keep the faith!
I agree they must be so busy working through all the applicants.
Sorry for the late reply. It’s Perth or Dundee. You heard anything yet?
I have just been for my medical after passing everything else. I was meant to be for Dundee but have heard Dundee and Aberdeen are full just now. Perth apparently needing drivers though.
Congratulations, fingers crossed it stays like that. Am I correct that they asked for everyone to be within 45 minutes of a depot?.
That's the preference, yes
Best of luck!!
