6 weeks, only took me just over four years, start in January for southern.

Brighton.

Finally got my start date today 11th of January, result.

You should print the sheets off and just keep going on them, I did it for ages and you will get to know the patterns and it becomes easier. To pass you will need around 10 lines with no mistakes. I had people finish the page when I did mine and they all failed.

My theory for that test is don’t miss the traffic lights, driving a train the most important thing is signals. Last thing You want to do is miss a signal so I told people after just don’t get one wrong with a traffic light in.

Five of us did this test when I did my assessment and every one of us came out and thought we had failed

Had my medical today, just waiting for contract and confirmation of start date.

There are but once u get to five just start again and try and remember u already done 5, I’m sure most I did was about 12ish

Best bit of advice for the bleep test is keep one hand under the table and each been count on fingers. I did it and gave this advice to others who found it easier

That vacancy is for Thameslink not southern

I never turned them down they told me I cannot do them because of reasons I have given. I have also been told I am guaranteed to be on next coast way course. There are currently 8 people at Eastbourne waiting for a course.

Just been told December course is for metro only so got to wait even longer Andy what date does your course start in October

Think it would as november last year, I had already passed the assessment 2 years before so only had interviews to do. Yes I will be based at Brighton

I passed my medical on 26th March lol so yeah been a while. But I was offered April and August course but could not do them due to cover at work and holiday so not really anyone’s fault. Just hope I am deffo on December course and can not wait to get started.

i have been unofficially told im on the december course, was offered october but cannot do it as im off for the month on holiday. still waiting for it in writing tho.

No upper weight limit, as long as u can touch toes squat and balance. If I can pass anyone can lol

I have to wait until December as I'm off to Florida in October and have unofficially been told my start date is December 1st

They mark you up until your last mark, that's why u should always go left to right. They will also tell u this so if you go left to right on the top line then right to left on next line u will mess up unless u get lucky. Also if u cannot follow a simply instruction they give u then u will fail...

This test I found was horrible, 5 of us got through to this part and everyone of us thought we had failed when we came out. We all passed. The time u get is so quick u are lucky to see anything lol. My advice I gave to friends who recently done it is lights, as a train driver the signals are one...

I phoned HR and was told June was full, so was offered August. I'm going to ring back next week and see what is occurring with me.
