Hello all (sorry noticed in the heading I put shutter and not shunter)
My question is are the test centre tests for shunter and drivers the same
For example if you were to sit and pass the tests for a shunter driver and then either decide to not take a shunter position or fail at interview stage will the tests you have already sat and passed be applicable to a future driving position ....
Thank you

The tests for shunter and drivers are the same. However, some TOCs/FOCs may decide to include extra tests. For example, Greater Anglia and some other companies include the DFFT (Driver Fault Finding Test) as part of the assessments.

Additionally, different companies have different pass marks for the tests, so if you pass the tests with one company you may not necessary have a high enough to work for another company.
