Hello, Have you come across being asked to do written tests during the interview (final stage)? Or heard of such a thing happened to somebody else? Candidates normally attend assessment center so I don't think so but I don't want to be caught by surprise during my interview (Thameslink).

Thank you very much for your answer. That's very helpful.

Hello, Soon I'll attend the final stage of the recruitment process for the Trainee Train Planner position with Thameslink and was wondering what questions to expect? Anyone had Trainee Train Planner interview and could share what questions they were asked? I think they will ask questions...

Hello, It was hard (task with train planning). Task 1 was also hard but at least they provided with practice material. I passed my assessment. Exactly. How come they didn't provide any practice material for that...? Another thing is that assessor was explaining task 1 in detail but task 2...

I’m good with logical reasoning, tutors at college and university told me that and I did well in many tests and writing assignments etc. so I think that sort of job would suit me. Thank you for your answer, that helped me to understand it better, similar to my thought process.

That was the timetable from London King’s Cross (starting station) to some other station (ending station) I can’t remember the name. There were some train services between just 2 stations, like only 5 minuets journey between them (quite strange) so I don’t know how to include a train for that...

Hello, I'm wondering whether the test on assessment day was too difficult or not. That was for trainee train planner. We were given timetable for one day (11 pages total) and were asked to write how many trains and train crew is needed to run all those services for that particular day. Was...

Hello, I have it tomorrow. I think you can't prepare for that assessment much. I asked here and nobody replied so it's not common assessment like for conductor where people actually can provide some useful insights. For that assessment what we can do is only read everything they sent in emails...

Hello everyone, I passed on-line assessments, data entry test and mathematics based on tickets test (interestingly, it is the same maths test I did twice for other positions at GTR during my previous applications). What to expect on the assessment day? I received 3 attachments- one with ticket...

I've done online assessments already, maths were the same as on previous tests so no problems there. But data entry task was tough. I'm quick typer but I managed only half of the task.

Firstly I would like to work in the railway industry, so any position would be OK for me for a start and then I would be looking for some better paid position at the railway industry. At first I wanted to become train driver but I was unsuccessful on one of the on-line recruitments processes and...

Hello everyone, I applied 5 times for various GTR positions but were unsuccessful at different stages (once almost got a job, had a good final interview with the station manager but they have chosen somebody else for the role) and now I'm trying for the 6th time. This time for Trainee Train...

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I passed reading test but I didn't pass this Group Bourdon Test. If I will go another time for the assessment centre for that position then I won't have to pass the reading test as I already passed it, so I will only have to pass Group Bourdon Test. Well, I would...

I haven't been offered the job, this was the second email I received from the recruiter after my final stage interview. First one was automatic 'thank you for attending.......... the process will take about 1 week and we will let you know the result' and then after that 1 week he sent me that...

Hello guys, I had my final stage interview a month ago and I was told that I should know the answer after one week. Then I received an email from recruiter saying Thank you for attending the recent interview for vacant positions at [station name]. We were hoping to be able to provide you with...
