To be fair Cambridge and surrounding area is pricey... prestigious uni and London commuters. Avoid Arbury/King's Hedges/Orchard Park/Cottenham. Newmarket, Burwell, Swaffham Prior have some pleasant places

Well done. The managers interview is largely along the line of -can you give a time when you had to deal with a difficult situation -working to rules Experiences relating to past work, why you think you will be right for job etc. good luck. Who is it with?

Is all good fun. Just couldn't be doing with the slam door stock

The roleplay assessment you are given info regarding a fictional service/station. You may be asked about assistance for a mobility impaired passenger, timetable queries. Pretty much what you will encounter in daily life as a conductor. I'm sure Norwich is a lovely depot ;)

They should do. Mine was sent out by post, but was a long time ago You should be sent some info on the tests you will sit and a few practices

I would contact HR as they should send practice materials. Good luck, the tests aren't too bad :)

Will be concentration test (SCAAT), ticket checking/selling test. Rules test and a customer service roleplay. Did they send you practice materials? Good luck, my first was a conductor assessment. Which depot are you going for?

Can be redeemed at any ticket office for the purchase of a ticket. You can also use them on a train with conductor

It's not them telling you when you are off. You usually have a rota split into lines (eg. Line 1 for 2014, line 7 for 2015 etc). There may be an option to split a weeks leave into days works out well if you are able to get lieu days for bank holidays too!

There isn't a great deal to TRP2, the coloured segments are left to right in order of priority. The numbers-the lower the number, the higher priority if there is more than 1 arrow in the same segment. 4 dials, time limit & you are the challenge. Just shows you can work to a taught procedure

When I had a random D&A test was asked if I had consumed any energy drinks & protein shakes. Also had to give dates (even if an approximation). Urine was checked for drugs even stuff like PCP. Remaining was tested for diabetes and protein present in urine (for kidney function). The reason...

Finger crossed :)

Sadly it is the case. From what I have read does seem far more difficult than the CBI was. According to a leaflet I read from the RSSB website it is used to measure your ability to work calmly and methodically under pressure. It is annoyingly subjective as was the CBI.

Perhaps because it forms part of the psychometric testing you are required to pass in order to drive trains The managers interview does not use any of your 'lives'

With regards to the pay I have no idea. Is possibly the upper. Corporate induction Stratford. Training at Norwich, few days out for visits to different signal boxes and control

The driver medical is more stringent for obvious reasons The antidepressants shouldn't be a problem. You will be asked what medication you are taking. BMI not so much a problem, you might get a lecture.

From what I read on the RSSB leaflet concerning psychometric testing is that full compliance for all TOCs must be by 29/10/2013. If a candidate has sat GB, TRP1 & 2 and passed but not sat DTG & CBI by that date then they shall sit the new assessments, but not be required to resit the GB/TRP...

Thanks. I am looking to go for another driver assessment when I can

sorry if this has been asked before. I was wondering if anyone knew what the success rate was for candidates going to the assessment centre for driving the second time around? Many thanks

hi I am a guard with greater anglia. When i sat mine first was the paragraph test, then the checking and selling test. After a break was the concentration test (this is the scaat test with the symbols). We then sat a test called the versant test; For this we were required to call a number...
