I agree- this was the only test I failed on during my assessment and the real test was a bit more complex than the practice material, from memory we only had 20 minutes to compete this test.

I applied for Bletchely and have not received any email yet for the online test

I also applied but have not yet received any link for this online test yet?- I have applied with Abellio before and I believe you take this test even before the paper sift. Anyone else not been emailed yet?

Does anyone know I you can you can still apply for this if you've failed part of an OPC assessment for another operator in the past 6 months?

Thanks pal that really helpful I’ll have to dig harder on google I think I did look last week but my search wasn’t very fruitful, I’ve just found bourdon software you mention just trying to download it on my iPad ... the bourdon where you have to select more than one letter per page I find...

Thanks Stigy thats really helpful! I'm in the library as I type this working though it all. I was considering getting one off Amazon for delivery tomorrow! I've found plenty of bourdon examples to practice from online and other bits to help me too. The only sticking point for me is the TRP...

Hi all, I applied with WMT in for the Worcester job Feb and have an assessment centre next week, I have been studying the practice material they sent to me. Maybe its a tad late but has any one bought the 'how to be train driver' practice question books, and would you recommend them? If so...

Hi everyone, I've got my stage one with WMT next Wednesday and I've cleared my diary to get some study and practice in. Just a couple of questions regarding the group bourdons in the assessment centre. Are you expected to complete the entire page in the designated time given. The practice...

Good luck all who got through, got my unsuccessful email at 1am today :(. Kudos to EMT for the speedy turnaround on letting applicants know either way. The sifting is a weird beast as I used pretty much the same application for WMT recently which passed the sift and I'm awaiting stage 1...

Thanks for your replies everyone! I've now managed to open the email attachments on a proper desktop computer now I'm back in the office. I didn't realise there was an 85 page practice document attached I could only see the DFFT test on my iphone email. It certainly looks like I have a lot of...

I applied for this a few months ago and I’ve been invited to an assessment centre for WMT a week Wednesday, my application has changed to Coventry from Worcester. A have some questions if anyone can help: Is this considered stage 1 of the application ? It says if successful you will be invited...

I've often thought this, applied last year and never heard a thing. Not even a yes or no?

Hear, hear

Was this the job for Arriva? If so I too got rejected. Although I was applying from Coventry (which isn't within the stipulated 1 hour catchment area). I wonder how strict TOC's are with this rule do they just reject you straight away if your not local? I did caveat I was willing to relocate if...
