    Transpennine Express New Trainee Driver Vacancies

    Have a look here mate, first page there's a reply from bezzer which pretty much sums up the test, you get 15 mins but aren't expected to do all 20. http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=70192

    I'm doomed.....

    Have never took this test myself mate but that looks really good to me, the row fluctuation is down at 3.03 which I think indicates reasonably tight concentration and speed overall. I would be happy personally to get that with 1265 cells.

    That's answering one every 53 second's, I agree that is superhuman or they have taken the test before !!

    Transpennine Express New Trainee Driver Vacancies

    I did mine today and got to 11, don't hold out much hope because i might've got all 11 wrong, who knows !!! The test isn't complicated and if there was no time limit would be easy for most people, the 15 minute time limit puts the pressure on and I would be very surprised if anyone could get to...

    do you think having been self employed could hinder your chances

    I'm self employed mate, don't know what you do but most trades I would think are covered by HSE legislation, if you work on building sites then you need the CSCS card which is health and safety etc. If your a builder you have to work within building reg's most builder's I know in this area are...

    I wish...

    That's a nice honest thing to do mate, I've always tried my best to help people on and yes I had people promoted over me that started off as trainees alongside me. Gives a good feeling that these days there are still people out there willing to push others on without jealousy and backstabbing...

    NorthernRail Trainee drivers 2013

    Yes mate, unfortunately I've been and had a look at my app form and like a complete numpty I missed signing the drugs and alcohol statement so it's my own fault. Am not too upset, there's plenty of time for other application's and luckily trainee driver would be a bonus but I would gladly...

    I wish...

    Might sound really cheeky this but although I've applied for the trainee driver jobs I also applied for conductor and until cocking up the application form was about to apply for depot driver. By no means have I ever 'dreamed' of being a train driver, I would gladly accept most roles for any TOC...

    Hello newbie here,

    I'm north west based mate, the TOC's I've registered with haven't been great at sending jobs advertised so don't rely on them. Best to do as stated before and check the websites/facebook pages daily.

    I downloaded this practice software and have tried it twice now, first time I was sure I didn't mark any incorrect ones but the second time I definitely know I did, yet the software in the results says I marked none incorrect ?? Anyone else had the same ??

    Conductor at Northern

    Also self employed, don' know what age you are mate (pension) but I would say go for it. I lost eight weeks work last year having an operation, it's took from July last year to now to catch up with my bills and account's. Then you also have the economy which is not going to get any...

    NorthernRail Trainee drivers 2013

    If that's for me mate then yes I did, but read my earlier post because the first time round when I applied at Northern I didn't or maybe missed it. Best thing to do is log in and check the website because it will be there if they've asked you to take the test.

    Group Boredom and Reactions Practice

    Thanks LCC106, not something we ever did whilst interviewing asking about the company, the company I worked for was a specialist in it's field and probably there wouldn't be much to find out about them even on the net. Anyway all information helps...many thanks once again.

    Group Boredom and Reactions Practice

    Sound advice,I didn't know what the visual online test for Northern was until I started it, sometimes IMO it's better to wait and just do your best. TDK...Just a question, why so much emphasis on learning all about the company ?? Reading older posts on here it seems a lot of swatting up on...
