Thank you. My main questions you and others have answered. This forum is so useful and helpful.

Thank you so much. So your saying total 20 days? Thought they where mostly allocated so all seems good. Can I also ask, how is pay worked out for Sunday's and bank holidays? Just feel more comfortable asking you kind people rather than at interview. Also, great to see there are...

Hello everyone Any Northern conductors out there able to answer a question or two? 1 Do employees get free travel on all services operated by parent company arriva? Or is it just Northern and gc. 2 What are the holiday/annual leave entitlements and how are they allocated? Choose your...

Hi, Do you mind if I ask what company you are with and what is the holiday entitlement ? Didn't wanna ask at interview, not the best question. Have just been informed that I have passed the assessment and interview process, a start date to be allocated in future Thanks Adam

Hi, Sorry to hear the news. What seems to be the problem? Thought you would have been given a position by now. Fingers crossed mate.

It was for a talent pool, not a particular job offer. I was told that I seemed to overpowering in the group role play. Personally I thought I was just showing initiative and team building, I always asked for EVERYONES input and thoughts after I suggested anything. Very strange outcome, not...

Think you misunderstood. I mean, how long is the "pass marks" valid for? I have heard 2 and someone else told me 3 years. Don't think I am required to wait 6 months. That applies to something else I believe, could be wrong mind.

Hi all, Recently attended an assessment day with emt. Just received my results from the "scaat" and "raat" tests that I took on the day. I passed them both, but wasn't successful (probably tried that little bit too hard l) Anyone know how long the tests are valid for? Thanks in advance...

Got the opc assessment practice material. It is very limited, can you tell me on the scaat what digits were used? Letters? Both capital and lower case? Symbols or a mix of everything? In the practice material there are 10 lines and 31 upper and lower case letters on each line. Also do you get 1...

To be honest I can work hard and practice or research things for the day but the RAAT test I fear. The reason being I am a very,very slow reader. Getting the question right may not be to difficult it seams but it will take me so long to read each passage of text. I can read and understand what I...

Great stuff, will get that done later. I have apple pc but do have a small windows laptop. Thanks for your help

Thank you so much, your help is appreciated.

Hi People, Any tips on.... How many characters in 1 row on scaat test and how many rows? How big is the sheet? Have been given the "opc assessment leaflet" has 31 characters in a row and 10 rows, the are fairly well spread out. Is this similar to the real thing? Raat test, How big is...

So much advise, thank you so much. It is on the 5th March. Station posting, I am not sure of. When I applied it stated Lincoln, sleaford and Skegness or any locally. It is a talent pool like you went through. Could you explain the "people shouting out roles" part again? What things are they...

Hi there, thanks for the info. No mention of any other tests than what I stated above. Could you explain this test? Might help to practice this just in case. Also is the scaat letters, shapes or both? You know what is required score wise? Accuracy and amount? Thanks

Hi All, I am new to this site and as with many others am trying to get into the rail industry. I have currently applied for a role as conductor with my local toc and got passed initial application. I was the asked to do a video interview and after review they have invited me to an assessment...
