Scotrail Trainee Drivers (Ongoing)

Just remembered they check your mobility of your limbs, so nothing too constricting either.

Has anyone recently sat a medical? Is there a dress code?

No dress code. As others have said, you’ll be taking off your top, stretching, peeing, etc (not all at same time) so I just went with jeans and t-shirt. It’s not as daunting as you might think, good luck

Done 3 on railway it’s not difficult stand on one leg touch your nose honestly basic stuff squat done etc

How long did everyone wait from submitting application to hearing back? Good or bad.

Last time I tried I had the no back within a couple of days. Haven’t heard so far this time and I submitted mine on Monday.

I applied at the last campaign in December. I got an invite for assessment about three or four weeks after the closing date.

 

[Scoops]

Hi all, I have the first assessment day coming up and the email invite stated that the following areas would be covered;

- Group Bourdon
- Trainability for Rules and Procedures Parts 1 and 2
- Test of Everyday Attention (Tea-occ)

Can I just check, is that the only areas that will be covered and that there will be no interviews or any of the other topics?

Correct. Thats the 3 areas covered on assessment day 1. All done on paper and should be completed in around 3 hrs.

I attended mine in smart attire, although I soon lost the tie after I arrived. My invite did say I should be smartly dressed though (this was for GWR). I probably would have gone smart(ish) anyway, but it was a bit of a faff to keep unbuttoning my shirt.

Perfect 'Kickin aff' thanks for getting back to me.

Hey Scoops,

Best of luck on your First Assessment Day,

Would you be able to share when you applied, just wondering if people are starting to get invites already from the recent job posted with the closing date of 31/05/2019. I know its probably too early but had to ask

Good luck again!

Have you heard how you got on ?

 

[Gedphones]

Met the required standards and the next stage is a medical. Generally quite fit so hopefully that won't be a problem. Buzzing .

Well done buddy! Was it what you thought it was going to be? Ie the tests and interview?

Congratulations! Told at the time or later on?

 

[Gedphones]

Well done buddy! Was it what you thought it was going to be? Ie the tests and interview?

Yeah, there were only the 3 of us there and we were all apprehensive after the computer tests. When we were told we all passed we were all buzzing. Then we filled out our MMI questions and went for interview based on that. I thought we would also be questioned on the SJE but that never came up at all.

 

[Gedphones]

Congratulations! Told at the time or later on?

After the interview the I was told I would get a call later in the day. Was told about 3.15

Thanks. Did they indicate any likely training start date for you?

 

[Gedphones]

No, they only told me I had to do a medical on Monday.

Yeah, good to see so many people being successful. Good luck next week bigdriver, I'm in on Wednesday for mine.

 

[Gedphones]

Good luck all. The one piece of advice I can give is that the interview is the least stressful part. There isn't much stress doing the actual tests either, just the waiting to see if you pass.

 

[mortarman]

Hi Gedphones, congratulations on passing the tests & interview, hope the medical goes well for you too.
I attended the 1st assessment yesterday and passed, can you tell me how long it was from your 1st assessment to your medical please?
Cheers
