And one other thing, since the phonecall from the interviewing manager over 3 weeks ago I’ve had no other correspondence at all. It may have been in my excitement I misheard him but I’m sure he said I would receive an email confirmation from HR shortly that I had been successful but so far not...

I’m also in the same position after interview earlier this month and can not wait to get started aswell. Got a friend who already works for them who says that they are keen to get people in because of upcoming timetable changes, but also have something called harmonisation (long story) ongoing...

I’ve done this test but I’m not 100% what it is your asking as you appear to know the format of the test already? I can only add that it is multiple choice questions and you have a short time to memorise the text as best you can and a short time to answer the questions, so don’t dwell on one...

Yes I have this afternoon.

I’ve done the conductor assessments with GWR, similar if not identical to the TM assessments. For assessment 1 (psychometric tests) I wore smart/casual trousers and shirt, it’s quite a stressful exam situation so you want to be smart but comfortable and for assessment 2 I went for the fully...

Just one psychometric test, it’s played over a speaker system and is designed to test your ability to listen to a set order of instructions regarding dispatching a train and then has some customer service type questions chucked in to throw you off. It’s a concentration test, so my advice is make...

My understanding is no, if you don’t pass tomorrow it won’t mess up your driver app.

Basically a memory test. You get 10 minutes to memorise 4 decent sized paragraphs of the various operations of a fictional transport firm. You can make notes, but these are taken away at the end of the 10 mins. You then get 12 minutes to answer 30 multiple choice questions based on the...

I’ve had the dreaded thanks but no thanks email today, can’t say I’m completely surprised as I found the TRFS test difficult. Good luck to those who progress to interview!

I’ve been given another chance and will be attending July 4th.

It’s a bit small I didn’t see it! I can’t offer any advice on those, they are different to the Shunter tests that I have taken.

You may need to specify which tests your being asked to do to get a better response.

Do you remember how long they said the results were valid for?

I didn’t do the TRFS as part of my conductor assessment although it was 18 months ago so maybe they’ve changed their tests. Wouldn’t hurt to contact HR because the advert clearly stated assessments on the 18th so you would have thought you would have heard one way or the other by now.

I did the SCAAT as part of the conductor assessment and I’m sure they said valid for 3 years would be nice not to have to do it! I believe the SCAAT and Bourdon are similar it’s a concentration test with various shapes, work your way along lines without errors etc etc

That’s odd? Anyway the two tests are the SCAAT (hoping I won’t have to do this having already passed last year) and a new one on me called the TRFS, Trainability For Safety test.

I’m certainly not an expert but do have experience of GWR assessment days. I will also be there on Tuesday and going by the information given so far I won’t be expecting to be interviewed on the day. The two tests will just be done in a classroom style environment one after the other with a...

Thanks for sharing the salary information and if there is one thing I have learnt from this forum and my own experiences your never completely out of the running until they tell you that you are.
