Hi all, just wanted to know your thoughts on something, I know these tests are based around safety critical and correct behaviour and customer service. But I am puzzled on something. Firstly when you get asked a question such as a customer approaching you on a platform with some problem such as...
Thank you all for your responses much appreciated. I’ll keep plugging away and hope to get in one day but I know it’s Uber competitive and for obv good reason. Thank you Stigy, baz962 and Ana D also
Thanks buddy, yeah good to hear that’s not a factor. One thing I’ve read on this thread, which echo your words is that be yourself and honest and try not to put down what you want them to hear. If that’s the case, then that’s fantastic advice because I did tend to think of the train driver role...
Hi all , hope you are all well in these strange times. I applied for this and failed it, got the email through to confirm. I’m 49 in July do you think that was factored in to my score at all. Or is this not the case ?
Hi there.

Thanks mate, first one I have ever done and looking at it I could make certain changes but the examples are very close. Think I’ve learnt after speaking with mates where I have gone wrong, but even then thoughts were divided. But I think I’ll be ready hopefully for next recruitment drive which...
Thank you, I am defo going to go again. Looking at the answers and really thinking about it I think I’ve slipped up on two answers neither linked to customer service and rules and guidelines. So I think I know where I went wrong and I actually feel better about it. Knowing this is where I messed...
Yeah thanks mate, I think looking at my answers I’m still a bit confused but like somebody said on here, I can have as many goes at this as I want. So I’ll just keep on the look out again, but don’t imagine West Midlands will recruit for another year now. Oh well it’s life I suppose. Gotta get...
Thanks for your support mate. I gotta admit I am bamboozled and I have no idea how I’ve failed. I know for a fact I have got the safety ones correct and the customer service ones I’m confident on. I am at a loss really mate what they are after !!!
