Sounds simple enough. Are you a driver, if so did you have any problems at your medical?

Hi, the tests are all in the booklet EMT emailed to shortlisted candidates - pages 1-40

As I understand it - if he were to pass the assessments with Arriva, these results would also stand for South Western. You just need to be aware that some TOCS want enhanced scores and some don't. If he failed any tests with Arriva, he would be ruled out of taking the same test with South...

Derby on 28th!

Great theory - sounds very likely! Thanks for your insight.

I Hi there, is this a recent change? Is it documented somewhere do you know? Thanks

Thanks very much for posting - wouldn't have spotted this one. Does anyone know if TPE require enhanced passes at OPC stage 1 and whether they require the DFFT (Driver fault finding test)? Thanks in advance

There's a position advertised with Scotrail at the moment for Trainees in Inverness - there may be less applicants due to the location...

Thanks - I was just checking it was the same TOC. Much appreciated
