Thanks for info. I believe our interview scores get added to the test scores and top 6 will start training towards end of june, hopefully plenty of people will pass at Doncaster so there will be a second intake after that. just delighted to pass interview when i thought i'd blown it. Good luck...
Just wondering what was happening with the tests. I've been advised i met the required standard at interview, i don't need to do test having passed them last year. I'm guessing the tests will be completed soon ? Medicals at the end of April ?
Hello
I did it last year and passed so here goes: you can get a cd rom - how to become a train driver, that has information on all the tests, if not google physcometric testing for train drivers and read, a lot of people have put blogs on line. Find out what is included, i passed mechanical...
I am probably in a similar boat to you, i passed interview for Metro job and tests at Doncaster a year ago, was advised i had job but on waiting list, last week i went back for reinterview and had a nightmare. I started applying for Northern only for the job to be pulled. I thought of sending...
I never got as far as sending my form, i was into day 4 of filling it out and finishing the spell checking, when i noticed the job had gone off website. I emailed then and got the reply, now no traincrew recruitment planned for Darlington this year, i have emailed back to see what recruitment is...
I received an email this morning, job has been withdrawn due to change in business requirements, no further recruitment planned this year in Darlington. Bugger.
The deadline is for 14/03/2011, however the job seems to have disappeared off website, i am still completing my form online, as i got in before it went. I have emailed Northern to see if its still valid.
Knowing my recent luck the job will be pulled, i have already passed the testing at...
Good luck. The more i think about the in terview the more i shudder. Still saying as i've already passed the tests i've started applying for driver jobs with other operators.
Just had my interview, had a bit of a mare to be honest, not feeling very confident. Went off track early on and that threw me a bit. Hope i did enough based on previous interview and tests at Doncaster, but very anxious wait now. Good luck, if you get through they did mention that mechanical...
If you look on here and on google, you will get a good idea of the questions i was asked last time. How have you dealt with an emergency situation ? When have you worked in a team? When have you had to follow rules ? What can you tell us about our company ? Why do you want to be a driver ...
Hi Frankfurt
Just checking to see if any more information, i have been checking for these jobs to see if advertised externally but nothing as yet ? Are they being advertised internally only (if that is allowed nowadays) ?
I have rung DB a couple of times, i was advised the course is due to...

Thanks for this info, been waiting since April 2010 patiently, i was advised then that i would be picked up at some later date (subject to medical), when i rang the other day i was advised i will be invited back in a few months and...
Hello all
Brand new to forum, which i found when googling.
I applied to be a Metro driver January 2010, i was one of the 60 interviewed and i believe around 20 of us went to Doncaster for testing. I passed the test in April (scraping through the Mechanical Comprehension). At that point i...
