    "What do you know about the role of a train driver?"

    I had a DMI with southern, I wrote all the questions down when I got out of the interview, I know they may be different as it's a diff Toc but if u want them pm me and will send them. Will give u some sort of idea.

    Failed MMI, a couple of questions...

    I don't think it does count as a strike. I passed all the assessments 3 years ago, failed the DMI 6 months later. I have just passed DMI last week now have my MMI next week.

    GTR Thameslink DMI

    My interview was with southern, the person doing the interview told me that it does not score. Maybe as I already work for company it does not matter

    GTR Thameslink DMI

    I had an interview with gtr last week, they ask you what you know about the company. Visions and values u should learn but apart from that it doesn't actually form part of the scoring system.

    Multimodal Interview (MMI)

    The one question I struggled with when I did my MMI for a Shunters job was about working alone, he kept asking how I felt, for the life of me I could not think what he wanted me to say, I passed it but cannot remember what I said. I have a drivers MMI coming up soon so if anyone has any advice...

    A career as a train driver

    Like others have said, knowone knows what the pass mark is but if you can get around 10 lines complete with 0 mistakes u will be fine. I practiced a lot and the more you practice the easier it is to recognise the patterns and that makes it easier. Personally I found the dots one of the easiest...

    A career as a train driver

    Don't get any wrong is the best answer, take your time and don't rush. If you race through you will make mistakes and will be out the door before u start.

    Safety critical medical

    Hi, I have a Safety critical medical next week for a Shunters position and wondered if these are the same as a drivers medical, the resin I have asked is because 2 months ago I would have passed the drivers weight limit but I have put on a bit of weight since I have been injured so kept me away...

    A career as a train driver

    Agree, now I know what they will ask I can work on the answers I think they want. But it's hard to gauge what exactly they want to know. I have written down all questions they asked so hopefully it will help me next time. I have also heard that southeastern will need many drivers soon so I am...

    A career as a train driver

    That's what I thought, they cannot say no because I never mentioned it, to be fair they never even asked a question about safety. Also they never really asked probing questions on my answers either. Until I get feedback I won't really know what happened. Would be nice to know but so far had no...

    Group Bourdon Tool

    I have my interview soon, I wish I knew what the were going to ask me so I could 'cheat'. I hate interviews and have only had 2 proper interviews in my life.
