Hi all
Is it me or is there a drought for Qualified Train Driver Jobs?

Second is, does anyone have advice or methods for the following tests:
- Group Bourdon (dots)
- TEA-OCC...
Hi all,
Does anybody know if the “two strike” rule applies to TFL for drivers. I’ve heard that if you fail the process twice at other TOCs it doesn’t prevent you from applying internally for a drivers role at TFL. Any advice is appreciated
Hi all

I recently failed a VSE assessment for freightliner. This was a home assessment. Does this constitute as one strike considering the two strike and out rule? Please let me know I have tried calling freightliner recruitment and OPC and no one is...
Hi all
