    The revised SWT Mainline Driver Assessment 2015

    Well, thankfully I passed everything today! Order of the day was TRP 1 & 2 Group Bourdon (Paper) TEA-OCC WCT (possibly the easiest test in all the assessments I've attended, they leave you the storyboard in front of you!?) WAFV - Surprisingly difficult to stay focused on a monitor screen for 30...

    TRP Part 2, cables and dials.

    Indeed I will, good or bad ! Been cramming in revision for the last two weeks, the practice materials aren't the best but having passed the old assessment twice before in the past I think they give almost enough of an insight into what to expect. Its the new computer bit that eludes me...

    depot driver vs mainline driver

    I've been a Depot Driver for the last 5 years. I gotta say, it's the best job I've ever had. The money - for what we do - in my opinion is fantastic around the £37k mark. Better than that, depending on your lifestyle choices/family commitments, is the amount of time off we get. Our roster is a...

    The revised SWT Mainline Driver Assessment 2015

    The revised SWT Mainline Driver Assessment 2015

    That's great, thanks for the info! I remember a while ago being able to download a program and template to print off which replicated the reaction test and allowed you to practice whilst listening out for the tones and watching for colours on screen etc I guess that's irrelevant now if the...

    The revised SWT Mainline Driver Assessment 2015

    Cheers mate! Yes recruitment sending out paperwork/practice papers tomorrow thanks. Truth is they're never that accurate in terms of what to expect on the day and having been on the railway 10 years I've learnt that it's always worth asking around on such matters, you can't beat a bit of...
