Yea well I managed 30/43 and I knew all 30 were correct the women at the side of me only managed 18!Well that was fun. No idea how I've done but I'm confident I've done my best at the time. Saying that though I didn't realise how quickly 8 minutes goes when you're looking at dials
I managed 31 and was just about to mark the 32nd when he called time and I lost track of what I was going to put.Yea well I managed 30/43 and I knew all 30 were correct the women at the side of me only managed 18!
Not heard a single thing since I submitted my application and did the two initial online tests!Has anyone had an unsuccesful email yet following their application?
Do you currently work on the Railways fella? If not, seems weird that three of you from same work place have applied for this line of work, unless of course you’d all started talking about it and decided to go for it? I’m not telling anyone at my place of work, partly due to trust (you never know who is speaking to management etc) and partly don’t wanna increase my competition, there is more than enough already!Nothing so far. I'm expecting something over the next couple of weeks. As soon as the slots are filled for the first assessments i think the rest will get the unsuccessful email.
I'm just hoping I get to do the first assessment as will all of us. I just think the standard is going to be so high that it's an achievement just getting to assessment 1. 2 other people who I work with have applied for the same job and both heard nothing so far.

No. Only after the deadline I mentioned it to someone and they had already applied. They knew someone else that had applied. I don't work in the rail industry.
One tip I will give anyone for the assessment centre - take your ID and proof of national insurance!
Two guys got turned away yesterday morning for not having their proof of N.I!
How are TPE doing the recruitment?is it purely based on the 2 online tests to decide who is invited to first stage assessment or does your application come into it at this point?
IIts an initial online application no doubt similar to other TOCs. If you pass that there is a 1st assessment followed by a 2nd assessment followed by a driver manager interview as the final stage.
Sorry if my post wasnt clear. When originally applying everybody had to do two online tests aswell as the application. I meant how does everybody think they are picking people for the first stage of assessment. Is it purely based on how quick you completed the online tests or do they factor in the application form aswell at this point.Its an initial online application no doubt similar to other TOCs.

I wasn't told to take any when I sat them last year, but was asked for it when I got ther. Luckily enough I had just submitted a mortgage application so had wageslips attached to an email on my phone showing my address and NI number, which the OPC examiner said was fine.One tip I will give anyone for the assessment centre - take your ID and proof of national insurance!

Not heard anything from mine yet.Has anyone from the first batch of assessment days heard they've passed? I believe a few unlucky people have been notified they didn't pass?
Anyone living in the Glasgow or Lanarkshire applied? X
Thanks,
I am near Hamilton, just for car share opportunities should we progress any further!
Still waiting to hear back.
