As most have said on here the best thing is staying calm, deep breaths and maybe ask a question or two just to break the ice and settle your nerves, could be something as simple as 'how long do you expect the tests to last'. Sorry just seen this or I'd have replied sooner. There's also some great advice on here about the glop tests. I found the tones test the hardest I think but stay calm and find a point on the wall or floor to focus on. You'll be grand mate. Best of luck to you

Hopfully somthing comes out of it for you mate, best of luck.

If you dont mind when you do hear back can you drop me a PM to let me know the outcome? I am just curious because I am worried about my vision, I phoned HR and they advised me to proceed with the prossess. I have my interview on the 1st so may not even get that far but the last thing I want to do is waste anyone's time and resources.

Cheers

Hi guys, new to the forum :)

Applied for the recent intake of trainee drivers back in May and I've got my first assessment day this Monday coming. Applied for the Dundee depot. From what I read, its just the Group Bourdon, TEA-Occ and TRP (parts 1 and 2) on the first assessment day. I'm fairly confident with the Group Bourdon and TEA-Occ, done plenty of studying and found good study materials, but i'm quite worried about the TRP Part 1. Does anyone have any revision hints/tips/links to any websites for some practice examples?

Dmi interview and if you pass that you come back at a later date for computer tests and if you pass them you stay and have final interview

Hi, how did everyone who has sat the dmi find it. Was it more questions about what you know about Scotrail and the qualities required to be a train driver or was there a lot of questions about scenarios ie tell me about a time when you have worked under pressure. Cheers

What time did you get ? Just thinking you might have gotten my original slot. I was due in at 11am but had to reschedule as I’m away on holiday.

I was in on the 27th June, got the email shortly after saying they'd be in touch after all interviews were done at the end of July to give the result of my interview, haven't heard anything since. Hopefully next week..

Now for the interview. Anyone on this forum got any advice, tips guidelines etc for the interview?
