Everything I belive is designed for you to pass with the correct attitude and self discipline you'll be okay. The couple of people I've seen fail wasn't about attitude was more about concentration levels.

I would concentrate entirely on passing your driver training before worrying about other depots and overtime.

Yes I also went far too quick once too genuinely thought I had failed it

I accidentally leaned on the button too heavy during the assessment

Absolutely it's almost 4 years for me in the Railway was ex forces too so have always did some sort of fitness but to strike the balance between family life, driving a train and fitness is extremely difficult

Struggled for a long time trying to balance working in the Railway and having a family with 3 young kids however now at a point where I go to the gym 4-5 times a week I either go before my back shift, my days off or straight after the really early shifts. It can be done and you'll feel so much...

At my depot the only two drivers that didn't make the grade were internal applicants.

Absolutely I can say I've probably never studied as hard to pass these tests. It's all I thought about for months and it ultimately helped me land my dream job. I've no idea what angle this guy is coming from, slagging trainees for panicking during training and not having natural ability is...

Silly question are you certain the application was for Trainee Driver as I'm sure other vacancies within Scotrail that conduct online tests. Good luck and hopefully it's resolved soon

Yea sounds about right m8 but always good to have the correct grammar too

My application was completed during a nightshift littered with mistakes I even had my DOB as the date I completed the application form. I would imagine buzz words must be key otherwise mine wouldn't have passed the initial sift
