Not the way I see it but I respect your opinion!

Thank you very much for your reply. At least now I know! Unfortunately it's not worth it for me to continue as the license is what I'm after as it would give me options internationally. I have now cancelled my appointment and withdrawn my interest. Good luck to everyone still in the process.

Well that's a shame as I was hoping they would have the train driver license everyone else has as it is an EU license in effect.

Thanks mate. As far as I know we were all pretty much people that had applied last November. Do you happen to know which TOCs accept the national standard and don't look for an enhanced score?

Does anyone know if London underground drivers apply for and have a train driver license like the rest?

So just finished day 1 assessment centre. Passed GBT and TRP 1,2 to national standard but GBT not to the MTR Crossrail standard. I decided to slow myself down for the GBT on the day so my accuracy was fine but apparently I needed to be faster. So whoever tells you speed is not important on the...

14/06???? Thats a long wait. Have a look at previous posts especially by drazky for what to expect on the day!

Well done scabek. Im so jealous of all of you lot! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- You know they did a further recruitment drive in January right?

I did my one on Saturday afternoon/evening I think!

3 days before my day 1 assessment centre. Can't say I have prepared as much as I would like to or I should have. Well I should know what happens in a few days.

Yeah I have just booked the date. 3 days available. 25, 26 and 27 February in a central London hotel with assessment days starting either at 08:30 or 13:30 and lasting about 4 hours. It is a day 1 assessment centre and here are the tests you do on the day according to the email: On the Day of...

Just got an email today following the online SJT with a link to book an interview.

Had an email this afternoon inviting me to do an online Situational Judgment Test. Email contains the link and also states it has to be done within 5 days and they are looking to invite successful applicants to the next stage asap. Obviously now ramping up recruitment to get the new drivers...

As far as I have read elsewhere it does NOT. From what people on the forums say you only get a strike when you get to the assessment centres and fail. That also does not include failing to get an enhanced score like MTR are after but manage to get the national standard on these days. Saying that...

Hey drazky congratulations. I can honestly say from reading your posts here that you sound like a genuinely nice guy and you deserve all your success so far. I will see how I get on on the 19th and then might message you for some tips. Once again thanks for all the info. --- old post above ---...
