Congrats to all that made it through. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Depot Driver Joey.

Hi tinsoldier. Hahaha I was only there half the day :) I saw somewhere that the lads I was with finished about 15.45. All the best. Good luck. Stay relaxed and try not to rush it!

Hi Jeffreybanks. I felt GBT went fine... Obviously it didn't :) I had been practicing on the computer but it was paper based still groups of 4 dots. Passed both TRP tests. I've read it before and I think it cost me but accuracy seems to be more important than speed. Obviously you need to try to...

Cheers Pepperami. To be fair the woman from Govia said right at the start that their passing scores were higher. I guess that's their prerogative. Yep kingrat you're right. I can apply elsewhere straight away or wait 6 months for Govia. Trouble is Govia runs pretty much everything in the 3...

Just failed my assessment on GBT. Was told that although I'd reached the national standard I hadn't reached the Govia standard so I need to wait 6months before applying again. Asked the lady from govia what the difference between the two was, how far away I was and she wouldn't say. She did say...

Gutted... Didn't make the afternoon session. I did see you Tom but didn't get a chance to introduce myself. So in feedback was told accuracy on GBT didn't meet gtr standards but did reach national standards. I can apply again in 6 months or apply immediately to another TOC which accepts the...

Cheers guys. Yes Plastic taffy it's for Govier Thameslink. So each company does there tests differently? Utd you had tests last week but didn't do GBT? I kinda wish they did the whole thing in a day it's hard enough getting one day off at this time of year suppose that would be a pretty heavy...

I know what you mean. Its not the end of the world right, but it would be nice to get on. Loads of people saying just do your best you've either got it or you ain't. Hoping I have! Good luck!

Cheers all. I'm not a stress head really I just want to have a good go at it. But thanks for the tips. What's TPE by the way?

Thanks for the replies! I've gone through the practice stuff every night since I got it on Wednesday so I feel a bit better. Although I started my GBT on the computer only to realise its a paper based test.. Doh. Yeah I'm really trying not to stress and just take it as it comes. Fingers...

Tom I got a letter of authorisation to travel yesterday?

Hi all. First time posting here. I have an assessment of Wednesday for trainee driver. Nervous doesn't even cover how I'm feeling right now! Can I just ask, do you think there's any bit that carries more weight than the other? I'm focusing on the GBT that seems to be the bit I'm...
