TransPennine Trains - Trainee Driver Recruitment Discussion

[SCDR_WMR]

Just done mine, completed about 35-40.

I've sat fully driver testing twice with other TOCs, passed to enhanced both times and is definitely say if you can get above 30 and very high accuracy is expect to pass.

Very similar to one of the paper tests during psychometrics where there's no way you will finish it no matter how fast you are without making silly errors so keep an eye on time but ensure 100% accuracy. I double checked every answer I gave.

Amazing! I’m waiting for the kids to go out then having a go. It’s my first time applying. I thought about it 10 years ago but didn’t feel like I had any experience.

Fingers crossed!

Anyone else had an email shortly after completing this stage? Saying it's with a hiring manager for review?

Nope, maybe next week, hopefully I will hear back as my enhanced psychometric is not a ticking time bomb

I’ve just finished it and assuming this is an automated email. What you think?

Unsure. It kinda reads like it's automated, but also could be interpreted as being through to the next stage.

I.e. would my application be passed to a hiring manager if I hadn't passed? Guess I'll find out in the next few weeks

 

[ayaz2001]

u can check what emails theyve sent u on ur tpe careers account

Hi everybody! Completed my detail checking a few hours ago around 4pm, has anybody completed this today? I experienced persistent problems with my MacBook me to progress to the next question after choosing my selections meaning it has killed up a lot of my time spamming the next button only managing to complete about 20 questions. Has anybody experienced anything similar??

Also any fellow peers who have applied for Newcastle?

Did mine on my mobile, no such problems unfortunately. Drop the recruitment team an email, they may be able to assist

I experienced similar and had to refresh the page three times on three questions.

I'd recommend sending an email reporting it to the email address listed on your invite emails and completion notification emails.

What laptop did you use mate? I’m debating using my phone now..

 

[Fokx]

No I used a desktop (Windows) computer

 

[Jordan1991]

No I used a desktop (Windows) computer

That’s so frustrating. I honestly don’t know what to use now

Has anyone had a positive experience doing this test on their laptop?

Just a normal laptop mate newt special, let us know if u get an email, maybe it’s just the Manchester depo that got an email or maybe they have passed and that’s why they got 1 and the rest of us haven’t who have done it.

 

[tulip]

I’ve applied to Preston. I got the email following the tests but I have no clue how many questions I answered.

I think it looked like a generic email so I think we are all in with a chance still

Yeah I just don’t want to use a laptop that can potentially scupper my chances, I’d be gutted if I failed due to a fault that wasn’t my own

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one! I’ve contacted them already to notify them incase it was a widespread issue however I don’t expect to hear back with it being the weekend!

It’s a shame as I know I could have gotten quite a few more finished but it is what it is
