i did my stage 1 with FGW. idk if its the same with you?

nice one! wish you the best of luck mate!

Sorry for the confusion, i'm completely new to the rail industry and i not fully understood the whole process to get selected yet.

@Bluebri hello mate, the position i applied for is for night shift carriage cleaner with shunting responsibility at Exeter, nothing special but hoping to get away from the kitchen, so starting from the bottom again and hopefully work up the ladder :) as much as i love my job (strange i know) i...

No i don't think so, the day was split into 2 parts, 1st was the concentration test (one with the shape) the the rule and regulations multiple choice (those who failed went home) part 2 was the audio, written and oral test. but i understand the assessment are different to each role and with...

Mine was other way round, did my assessment on 12th of Feb got told we find out the next day if we passed but nit heard any thing, that's the only thing I'm interested about is if I passed or not was only 2 of use who got to do all the test, I don't mind waiting then.

It only going to a cover role, my main job is a carriage cleaner, so may not even get to do that side for a while, but still hopefully I be allowed to progress and work my way up? Edit: well first part of assessment done, was split into 2 parts, first was the concentration test and rules and...
