Staff can apply for parking permit for car park located near the station accessed via Midland St. This is done via Network Rail offices in Central Station, get yourself on the waiting list for a space. In the meantime, I think the closest street without parking restrictions is Salkeld St on the...

Booking on/off times vary with link 1 and 2 but earliest book on is around 0430 and latest book off around 0145. Traction again depends on the link (as do the routes signed for). 380s, 385s, 314s, 318s, 320s 156s(link 2 only), all work out of Central.

I worked in Train Presentation but moved on a couple of years ago. Shift patterns have changed since then and I'm unsure what they are though I'm sure they're still dependant on where you are. I found night shift ok to be honest, but everybody is different. The work is hard going at times but...

Late reply to this but I am an internal applicant. Invited to assessment (date to be confirmed), Application was for Central.

Do you mean courses for those who have passed all interviews/assessments/medical etc and have been offered a trainee driver position. Or courses to help with the process of becoming a trainee driver?

Don't mean to sound like a smart a#$e but, c'mon! Google. Scotrail HR. Gotta be that easy. (It was, just tried it)

Hi Jydo, It's this particular campaign Im referring to. I have much sympathy for those I've noticed getting a date for medical (when I would assume the jobs in the bag unless you've been up to no good!) then seeing their next post saying 'passed medical and told Im on the waiting list'. I...

I am one of those who got the "interviewing managers indicated you had a good interview but ...... etc......blah blah......." I have spoken to two other internal applicants who did indeed fail the interview. However, I've read on here of external applicants passing all stages including...

The practice books you have been given will give a good indication of the tests involved. And as pointed out above, searching this forum will provide endless extra pointers.

Sorry to hear that St Mikey. What stage did you get to? Im internal too and sounds like you may have got the same email as I did. Sat the DMI, 'passed' but will not progress any further. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I think Scotrail (and other TOCs) take on drivers each year...

So unfortunately I won't be progressing any further than the Managers interview. I asked for some feedback on where my interview was weakest (to improve future interviews) but was told I hadn't failed. The managers felt I had a good interview but due to the large number of applicants, not all...

Just for general info for those in the same boat as me. I sat the DM interview on 01/12/15. Was told to expect 2 week wait, at least, to hear news. Called HR the other day and (as expected) they are still working through results for many of these interviews. They hoped to let people know before...

You can print off sheets for practising the GB test. I found this helpful as there is a difference in doing it on paper v on the computer. (Highlight the box for 'show answers' to make checking your accuracy very quick/easy)

Had mine just over 2 weeks ago. Still waiting to hear.

Reasearch wise, I'd advise you visit each location you've applied for - if only to be able to say you have done so. I would however, try to learn as much as possible about one location; traction, routes, get into the drivers bothy and have a look at what you see that you can talk about if asked...

When I was practising this before my assessment I was getting about 1200 cells with 0 errors 0 omissions. I found if I tried to go faster then mistakes crept in. So I knew my pace and stuck to it during the test and passed. I would guess your result looks like a pass to me. 1 omission is good...

If i remember correctly we had 5 sheets with 2 mins allowed on each sheet. For info, i got to about line 9/10 in each sheet, (im guessing) with 0 mistakes or omissions and passed.

I would imagine when they say they'll be in touch with info on the stage 1 testing, that would mean they will provide practise material as well as give you a date. Would be rather unfair/unusual not to.

I find that quite surprising. Interviews including internals are ongoing for another couple of weeks. I wouldn't have thought anybody would be past the next computerised tests and interviews with so many potential candidates still 'in the game'.
