Yeah, I got through. So glad I did after such a stressful day!!

Me too.

I take it you were up yesterday too?

Yes mate, I live in Dumfries.

You might still hear from them. Best of luck.

I received the email yesterday and the travel voucher to get to Glasgow came through the post today.

Did you apply for the job?

I got the same Daid, I think I messed up the application form. Don't be too disheartened, 2 years ago I got the rejection email followed by a train pass for the assessment day 4 days later!! Can't see it happening this time though!

Not sure Donachie, we did the Mechanical Comprehension followed by the Group Bourdon then a short break and the Trainability part. Trainability was listening to the tape (about Gloop!) then answering multiple choice. Cheers.

Abellio/Scotrail recently advertised trainee driver positions for Dumfries closing date 3rd July. Anyone apply for those? Anyone heard back? I applied for trainee driver position at Dumfries 2 years ago and passed assessment (psychometrics, trainability etc) and was told I'd be put forward...

No, not yet.
