Train Operator - London Underground

[sfxdude]

Same here, still waiting and I also phoned last Friday, they said whatever the outcome we will hear back maybe by this Friday. Remember they had over 4300 applications.

I think it's nearer the 6000 mark. For 160 jobs...

 

[mresh91]

Cheers for the response you guys. It's reassuring to know that if I am going down, I'll be taking a couple of you guys with me!!!

wow, now that is crazy, if we get a chance I know most people on this thread will make it through the assessments.

Don't forget that not all 6000 will have passed the online test. So we have slightly better chances.

The rumour I heard was that 600 were booked onto initial round of assessments. Guessing they'll see how many get through before deciding whether to do another round of assessments.

Are you really wondering what to choose:
21 hour night tube driver or full time MTR Crossrail driver?!?!?!?!

It's two shifts a week, not sure where the 21 hours has come from?

Probably 15h I cannot remember.
Who care by the way...

I could live on 21 hours a week, however 15 I would need to find another job!

Heard from a reliable source; Full time T/Op coming out soon. No specific dates provided.

I'd be very surprised if they actually advertised for full time roles externally. Would be great if they did..

Keep us posted!

Just had a request to book my AC2 - 10th of March.

Good luck man, pave the way for us. We'll be waiting feedback.

Good luck sfxdude

 

[chris11256]

Good luck. I'm on the train to Fenchurch Street now, on my way to AC1 assessment.

London Underground Train Operators, regardless of whether they are part time or full time, do not do voluntary overtime.

Hello Mojo, thanks for that Insight. Does it mean someone who is on a part-time contract , will not be able to put his/her name for any shifts during the week. I have got through the second assessment and was really keen to the working of an Underground Tube operator.

 

[cmm883]

Any news/updates...?

Correct. If there is an uncovered duty then initially it will be covered by the spares, if this is not possible then the Duty Manager or syndicate leader ("Mafia Man") may try to arrange cover through other means such as asking a favour of someone to change their working times, or by asking to borrow a spare from another depot on the line.

If none of those are possible then the train will be cancelled.

Just got this. The wait goes on... hmph...

I received one as well!
By the way I posted my aplication in the last moment and probably people dealing with first applications.
So .... Why I don' care at all about the funny tube assessment?
Probably because of the Elizabeth line...
Good luck to all still waiting for decision and to those in a process of thair assessment

I also posted mine at the last moment (a few minutes before the deadline if I remember rightly) so it would seem it's not being dealt with in application order.

Friend do you mean the initial application for the job or the online questionnaire? Because I remember getting an invitation for the online questionnaire which I didn't complete within a day or two, and only got down to it several days after because I received an e-mail reminder to complete the questionnaire asap before the deadline.

 

[chris11256]

This is interesting. We were told by the assessor on Saturday that we'd hear back within 10 working days. No mention of possible delays. I'm yet to receive this email, possibly because my tests are still to be marked.

Don't worry friend, I don't think if affects you 'Chosen Ones' who were invited to the assessment centres. This email is for those who completed the online questionnaire and are waiting for invitation to the assessment centre.

Oh I get you now. Hope you hear back soon with an invitation.

I didn't complete the online questionnaire for a few days after it was sent. I'm guessing they're waiting until the first batch of applicants go through to see if they need any more and that's why they've sent that email.

I've just been sent in invitation to AC2. My date choices were Monday 14th or Tuesday 15th March. I've booked the Monday.

Any advice? I'm going to spend the next few days trying to come up with examples for the competency interview.

Congratulation all the best with your AC2

Hi all,

Going for AC1 tomorrow. Those of you who have completed it, how long is the timing for the 'Understanding Information' test...Pack does not say how long or whether it is timed or not.

All the best
