Will just be a selection of all the usual questions people are asked in driver interviews. If you use the search bar at the top of the page there are hundreds of threads with piles of examples.

Usually it’s generic interview questions like “Tell me a time when” as the interviews are structured to give everyone a fair chance. Searching online & on the forums is the best way to go.

Almost always you’ll get asked for what you know about the company (Rolling stock, area served etc) and why you want the job.

Thanks for your response. Tbh, I thought that but just wanted to be sure so I can prep better. Do you know if you’re able to retry (re-record) your answer if you are not happy with your answer to a question?

If there is anyone who has done the shortlister online video interview for a trainee train driver role, any help would be greatly appreciated.
