TransPennine Trains - Conductor Recruitment and Discussion

[Alfpp]

Sorry team, only just seen this thread.
How did people get on with their interviews?

Still waiting for my interview to be scheduled.

Has anyone applying for TPE Conductor jobs recently had any feedback on the new online interview style questions?

I submitted my answers around a fortnight ago and haven't heard back so I'm assuming I haven't passed this time.

If you’re referring to the situational judgment ones where you choose what is most and least appropriate, you should have had an automated email following that advising if you passed or failed. The pass email would then advise that only the highest scorers proceed to the next stage which is the five OPC tests.

I did this just over a month ago and that’s my experience of it.

I think the system has recently changed, as I did the tests you describe (which were the same as the GWR style ones) a few months ago but they appear to have changed it very recently- they confirmed they couldn't honour my pass of the original test owing to the change of test format.

No news is good news, I didn’t get anything in terms of a reply about my assessment, I emailed them to which they confirmed I’d passed & just awaiting interview dates to be confirmed. Might be worth emailing them too see what they say?

Thank you- I've taken your suggestion and emailed them. I noticed that the automated acknowledgement email I got when I submitted my answers said they'd be in touch if I was successful- whereas before they used to let you know regardless of whether it was good or bad news.

Hopefully they give you good news back. Yeah for some reason they don’t seem to reply and let you know the outcome etc which is frustrating, it’s a long process as it is without them not letting you know.

Got an interview in couple weeks for conductor role at TPE, anyone been to one recently & know what to expect questions wise?

I did get good news at that stage, but sadly failed the concentration test again.

Good luck. Which depot have you applied for? I've not been to a TPE Conductor interview before.

Sorry to hear you had bad news. I applied for York

Thank you. Good luck with your interview. I had applied for Preston.

Well don’t let one set back put you off. Keep at it and I’m sure you’ll be at an interview stage before long.

 

[Alfpp]

Hi all,

What are people’s experience on the outcome of interview? I’ve seen a few that wait weeks and still get bad news? Is the longer it goes not in your favour so to speak? Do they not let the unsuccessful ones know pretty much straight away?

TPE have their quirks with recruitment.

I was offered Conductor with them back at the start of the year. But that offered was a couple of weeks later and I was put in the talent pool.

 

[Alfpp]

Congratulations. So will people who get unsuccessful emails get them at the same time as successful ones are sent?
