Well I ended up applying... my mum's house is just under an hour from the depot, not that it's likely I will get that far with a popular vacancy like this

I must say I didn't like their application form!

On the education side of it, there was nothing for GCSEs, just further education. My education stuff is on my CV anyways....

To be honest mate I couldn't really score well on this one, I just googled it and printed off pages as when you do the test it will be on paper not a pc.

 

[Uplinker]

Thanks, will try that instead.

How long from december until starting do you know.

 

[greatkingrat]

The courses will be spread out throughout the year, so it could be anywhere from a couple of months to a year.

I have no clue but the wait was ridiculous... I live 10 minutes no traffic from WJ via car...would be ideal...

I think I stumbled across this in an old thread. Did you pass the requirements but not make it through to the next stage?

[Saracen_83]

Doesn’t fill me with confidence!!!! Was hoping to hear by Christmas regarding assessments etc! However maybe not!!!!

 

[martin2345uk]

Quite surprised that this one is still open!

 

[Saracen_83]

Me too!!! But swr had it open 2-3 weeks as well!!! So definitely going to be a long wait sadly.....

 

[AJirde]

Hi all

Was hoping to get clarification on what stage would a fail during the assessment count towards the 2 strike rule?

Thanks

 

[Adamski]

Any part of the assessment matey including the mmi.

 

[choochoochoo]

Only dmi is exempt from 2 strike rule

 

[AJirde]

OMG these sjt questions!

Is being a train driver means your working in a fast paced environment? It's only you in the cab! Despite the trains travelling.

 

[Tron81]

Does a failed assessment for london underground count towards the 2 strike rule?
