Emma, It will just have to be patient, as I say i’ve Known people who have waited upto 6 months, the 2nd assessment involves a good number of management roles to be present as a result it can take time to organise, also priority will be given to depots in greater need, there team is only small...

Emma, Firstly well done on passing your assessment. 4 weeks is nothing in railway recruitment as many many threads on here will tell you. What role have you gone for? It can be months rather than weeks, as soon as the 2nd assessment is finalised you will get the call. But for now it’s a...

Doubt we will until they are looking to start stage 1 assessments, could be a while especially as it’s a 20/21 potential course dates. John

With a 20/21 date it could be a while for the assessments but at least those in the running our off the blocks. John

Depends if the previous job was driver as they are separate to customer service roles such as guards also normally ticket office staff are separate to guards but almost always within the TOCs roles a minimum 6 month wait and on any rejection email/letter will be the 6 month rule shown. John

Is the customer service type roles, ie guards, train managers and conductors subject to the 2 strike rule count like with train driving, as I’m led to believe that you can try as many times as you like be it subject to the usual TOC 6 month wait. John

No driving is separate so if they do drop out they can apply for trainee driver positions. John

Yes it does as it is customer service and customer host falls into that category same as guard etc. I’m sure after six months you’ll be able to apply again, you will need to do the online stuff again but any paper tests you should be fine with for at least 2 years. John

While you will certainly have an advantage over non railway people you will still go through the exact same stages as anyone just off the street for any other position you apply for. Well done on getting the job. John

How did you get on, when presenting for your given question were you given any tools or did you have to go off memory? Ie PowerPoint or flip chart, how did you find group excercise?

My experience of these tests is if you don’t hear back that’s a good sign. Normally if you fail you here back same/next day, very quickly and then have to wait 6 months before trying again with the same company/role.

Although the two strike rule only applies to assessments, most if not all TOCs will say you need to wait 6 months for that particular role before applying again, you should know most again at the first stage will not give much help in what went wrong as they are inundated with applications and...
