If they held a couple in London it would be handy... :D

Bridgewater House on Friday 28th which I think is the same place as the first assessment (Solar powered train one).

Since LU took back over the maintenance of rolling stock cleaning is no longer the priority that it had been under Metronet as the contractual financial penalties for dirty trains disapeared overnight.

They were getting clogged up as the 09TS created different air votexes from the 67TS due to it's different shape. This was moving tunnel dust that had sat on tunnel ledges for years which was then being sucked up into the vent system and blocking the filters, so BTUK took them all out. As far...

Thought that LU had taken the PV filters out of 09TS because they kept getting clogged up with tunnel dust, I didn't just say that...

Blimey that's good! On the software I was managing 1000 - 1100 with a couple of omissions. Who knows what I did on the day but that's got to be a good guide, was making it about 2/3 rds of the way down each of the 5 pages but I found the paper version a lot easier than doing it on the...

TPE (or First Group as a whole) do not accept borderline assessment passes and other TOCs do so it is well worth chasing them up as it may be that people have passed the assessments but just not reached TPE's criteria. This would have an impact on any future applications for drivers jobs. Also...

Just got the email and i'm in, next round is Manchester on 28th Sep.

Some problems with the doors was a pretty serious and time consuming failure with the sesitive edges as well as large scale mods to the PEA's and not to mention that the fleet are currently having all their gear boxes replaced at Northumberland Park by Bombardier. Not been involved with any...

Everone in our group said they struggled with the Glop test, I found the other two test fairly easy but I guess it's hard to judge it so will have to just wait now. TPE get the results back tomorrow then it's up to them to distribute them. I think that there were about 50 in total taking...

A few of us are, if you check the 3000+ applicants thread it is being discussed in there.

I think TPE are dragging this one out a bit, only half assessments sat today, the other half will be in two weeks time if you are successfull. Finished in an hour. Originally we were told full day with all assessments...

Good luck all:D Got mine tomorrow.

That's great thanks for the info, two and a half weeks to go then :D

Thanks for that Silv, they told me anything up to four weeks after I did the online assessment. Any idea of the next stage if successfull, is it an interview?

Did anyone go for the Northern Rail trainee drivers position at Liverpool Lime Street that was advertised about a month ago? If so has anyone heard anything back other that the email offering the online assessment? From reading posts in the forum there seem to be a few people at various stages...

Razor I have worked in the rail industry (London Underground) for ten years, in safety critical positions as well as track work, projects and management. I am certain that is why I was shortlisted and ofered the assessment. HOWEVER talking to the guys who were taking the assessment when I was...

"The Pack" was the attachments to the email that confirmed you were sucesful and invited to the next stage. It says in the train driver practise test material doc that all are examples for practice only and not the questions that will be used on the day.

The Olympic period has been a massive milestone for LU projects for years, the £1bn Vic Line Upgrade was was completed on time for the Olympics as planned as well as the key cooling the tube sites, step free access platforms, and the introduction of WiFi to name a few. I believe LU and TfL as a...
