Well I agree that the role is very much about safety. But to be asked how you would deal with a drunk person banging on the train did not really seem that relevant to safety or an emergency situation as once you've had your training you'd follow procedures that you were taught to deal with that...

Same here, I got my response the other day. I was disappointed but I didn't get a great feeling after the interview. To be honest it's probably the most unstructured interview I have ever done. Absolutely nothing to do with why I wanted to even be a train driver or anything else I researched and...

Hi everyone. Has anyone that did the managers interview for the Edinburgh Bathgate roles had a reply yet. I did mine 2 weeks ago and was told usually hear back between 7 and 10 days if successful. So I'm fearing the worst that I've been unsuccessful to get to the MMI stage so I'm gutted. I'm...

That is what the email I received said. Over the next few weeks you will be contacted for the managers interview. I'd imagine they will still have a lot of people doing their assessments though. I'm in no rush I'm happy to wait a while before an interview as I hate interviews they are always...

Hi, thanks, do you know if ScotRail use the paper group bourdon test or the computer version? All the paperwork I was sent from ScotRail is just looking for letters and a test were you have to look for a letter whilst listening to someone speak and listen out for specific words whilst doing...

I've got an assessment next week for ScotRail. I applied late and got accepted for the assessment day. Didn't think it would come back so quickly so hardly got any time to study anything maybe get time to do 1 hour a day maximum. Anyone got good advice on what is the hardest tests to do and what...
