SWR Driver Interview

[AlR28]

Hello Everyone

I've got my interview coming up soon and wanted to know what sort of questions will be asked? I feel I've got most bases covered but just want to check for any curve balls
what interests you about the role?
what do you know about the company?
what skills do you think you need to be a train driver?
Give a time when you’ve had to follow rules?
What does good customer service mean to you?

thanks for any help

This. I don't think the interviewers generally know themselves or switch off after hearing each candidate regurgitate raw information. Personally, I'd add more qualitative information about the company.

Indeed. I made the DMI but not the final location sift as the depot I required wasn't actually avaliable after all.
