Hi all, I have applied for the trainee Birmingham jobs and have received the questionnaire today. I have applied for train driver roles previously but only ever got as far as OPC tests done online at home. Does failing these online tests count towards your 2 lives or are those lives only lost...

Same!

Does anybody know if you have previously passed the VSE and SJT online tests will you be required to compete them again?

Same here!

Any news yet anybody for the Moor St positions?

Yeah the travelling was fine, the course is very intense but if you go with the right attitude and give it your all you will be fine.

I was travelling a 32 mile around trip with no option of a hotel

I have just completed my training at Walsall, if you are local you travel each day, no hotel. My group had 8 and only 1 was in a hotel due to the distance.

17 week shift pattern working 8 hours Mon-Fri and 12 hours on Sundays. Roughly work 2 Sundays out of 4.

I had an interview at WMSC earlier in the year and was successful. The interviewers were extremely laid back and made you feel at ease instantly. I am very impressed with all aspects of WMSC so far so good luck with your application!

Thank you

Could anybody clarify if I am correct in thinking the next pay day is the 24th of this month? I have tried to work it out after searching the forum and working forward every 4 weeks, thanks in advance.

There are a few pay scales already listed on this forum, you can use the search function or scroll back through a few pages?

Thanks Tom for your quick reply, it may be a strange first week then?
