Yes, passed though not with FTPE. Heard nothing yet from FTPE since online assessments.

Anyone had a rejection after the 2 online tests yet?

So... looks like the phone interview invites have all been sent now.

In short - no, you cant. Though many think this may be the road the whole thing goes down in the future, like becoming a pilot (Not a good thing, btw). The furthest you can get is doing the pre-training assessments yourself (the ones at OPC, DBS and the like that TOCs send you on if you get...

Still waiting for a response for York.... Hope they are still inviting for interviews

Congrats are due mate; you were here when I started over 2 years ago so I know you've been plugging away at this for a long time. Just goes to show the power of persistence. Very well done :D

For TPE? Really? I have never heard anything like this before. Bad enough that some TOCs dont take 'borderline' passes, but do you mean by 85th percentile, the best 15% of all applicants results? That is very very high if a 'pass' (not borderline) is only the 'best' 80%?? (ie 19th percentile)...

I know for certain that Northern required higher than mandatory on the assessments in 2013, because I got a 'borderline' pass on one test at the DBS test centre and was advised it wasnt a high enough score for them. This was a unilateral thing; they weren't just taking the best people from a...

Sorry no i didnt. I applied for Freightliner 3 times and never got so much as a reply, so gave up following them. Bummer for you that they advertised and went through all that and in the end didnt take anyone though :cry: Got to stand you in good stead in applying with the other TOCs though

If you passed all that, did they not offer you a job?

I did second test, havent had a rejection or an email about further stage. Someone here said they waited 1 month after second test to get a rejection on a previous application, so dont hold yr breath?

No they're not. They wont be on any databases accessible to anyone outside the TOC that runs them. Although technically, the TOC themselves could use a 2 strike rule about people who repeatedly fail them if they choose to do so, you would probably never find out anyway, just wouldn't make a...

Anyone know what the distance limit for working out of York is?

Christ that 2nd test was hard Harder than anything done at the driver assessments IMO. Hope the passmark isnt insanely high

Does anyone know if Northern are losing the franchise in 2016? Or is it still up in the air?

Guys where are you seeing 'verify check' on your profile? I've just done the first test, it just says Train Driver SJT with a completion date and time. Theres been no email about a second test and I dont see 'verify check' anywhere at all? Help appreciated --- old post above --- --- new post...

Ah yes it may have done. I only took a glance at it as Liverpool is no good for me, but the 8th sounds familiar as an expiry date. I stand corrected if so

So, now removed, many days before the stated expiry date in the ad, and only 2 days after it appeared. Certainly seems strange, I feel sorry for anyone who was half way through the lengthy application process.

Really on a downer with FL. Applied 3 times now and never heard anything. Got almost to last hurdle with Northern but don't know what I am doing wrong with these guys

Unfortunately thats not what happens. This will be my 3rd time applying for FL and not once have I heard anything after the application. So you never have a clue if you passed the test or not...
