Hi @Beeks hadn't realised you were on here. My info on recruitment will be long out of date.

Hi and welcome to all the newcomers. I don't come on here that often, but I've been on trams for over 2.5yrs now, and friend of LRV3004 and Beeks. I've come from buses. See you all around.

Be patient. Sifting/assessment is ongoing. For the SCAAT test, you have a booklet, with nine pages. A minute per page. There has never been anything to say how much you need do, but obviously as much and accurately as possible. If you go wrong you cross in opposite direction over it. If...

If you look on this site, at becoming a train driver, there are links to practice tests. I was tested on dials and shapes (SCAAT?). It's to test your concentration and ability to follow instructions. You will also have a test on the simulator if you get through the first two tests, an English...

They're still going through applications received then as I asked after a friend's application.

Oh goodness, sorry only just seen this! We had a family bereavement with funeral on 12th and then away for a couple of days. Hope you got on OK?

Guess that's it for me then. I've got a start date for LRV driver training with Metrolink, so looking forward to starting that. Good luck to those of you through to next stage :)

Great news! Good luck with that :) I've now got a start date of 8th June and can't wait.

The doctor said I'd passed, so I presume I'll then get a contract through the post before I'm given a start date (though I worry that the company may still reject on some of the answers I gave on the medical form!)? Just wanted to thank you...

I've applied on 8th April. Wasn't expecting the test as part of it, as I hadn't been on these forums before. I presume we would get an automatic "not suitable" message if we didn't meet the criteria from the online test? Is that what's happened to people in the past? It just said I'd hear early...

Just checked. No... I had attended the Recruitment Fair in February 2014, and had pretty much given up hope, when I was invited to apply by email in December 2014, with a closing date of 16th January 2015, and told if I hadn't heard by 1st February, then I was unsuccessful. I heard back from...

I attended an assessment day on 17 March and have passed all the tests and assessments. There were 10 of us there and, after the first test, we were down to 6, and following the second, were down to 4. All of us then passed the rest of the assessment and I have had a letter saying I've been...
