And good luck to all who have DM interview @ Waverley tomorrow

I personally am very proud to get where I am, awaiting a DM interview, and ScotRail can take all the time they need as far as I am concerned. I originally applied almost a year ago and sat stage one assessments last August. My point is simple; Patience. Give yourself credit for...

No date yet Gav. All the best with the next stage and congratulations on getting there. Not many do.

Just wanted to say 'good luck' to anyone fortunate enough to be shortlisted for the up-coming DM interviews @ Waverley for the trainee drivers positions.

Howdy, Am at the equivalent stage up here in Scotland. There's a wealth of help and support available here on the forums, just use the search box. Good luck to you, S

Hi Col303/ultrajapa, Am in the same boat, successful at part assessment for Waverley last Monday (12th Aug) and I believe FSR still have more assessments to carry out yet, after recieving 1000's of applications for the few vacancies. Makes me wonder what the failure rate is from the...

Yeah, score out the groups of 4 dots and getting through as many lines as possible. Sat mine on Monday.

Hi All, To put my experience in the mix and reiterate what's been said, I was assessed (part1) for a trainee driver's role a few days ago. After trying out the downloadable tool and heeding the sound advice from the likes of TDK/SkinnyDave and many others on this great forum, I realised...

Thank gawd that assessment day is finally over with. Good luck to all the other blokes (and lady!) who will have equally sore eyes and head tonight. Will be counting Boredom Dots instead o sheep tonight methinks..

Not filling me with confidence for tomorrow..!:roll: Just want to say good luck to anyone else sitting the trainee train driver (Edinburgh Waverley) assessment in Glasgow tomorrow afternoon. By the sounds of things here, I think we'll need it! Sleep well..!:)

Wise words, as always, DB.

Well I guess we can consider ourselves damn lucky to get through the first sift (which is the biggest sift by far). At least we have the opportunity where many hundreds haven't even been considered. Am not feeling too confident about the assessment tbh, especially MT4.1. I'll be glad when...

You could be right barko, what station did you apply for? I am shortlisted for Waverley, although i have no idea how many trainee drivers they are recruiting for. Congrats on passing the psychometrics! No mean feat by all accounts.

I had mine tested yesterday, westbrom, after the same issue lol :shock: Won't have new specs in time for Assessment Day though..:( Keep practicing a wee bit every day and it'll improve, your eyes will get used to it.

I assume the process can vary? I am in no rush. The longer i have to wait, the more prep I can do. I have patience in abundance. I am expecting stage 2 to be a week or two after stage 1 IF I am lucky enough to progress. If anyone knows different, speak up lol

That's for sure, Dave, there is an abundance of advice on here, that's why I joined!:D :idea: I am surprisingly pleased how freely the members on here share their advice and experiance. It bodes well for the character and quality of colleagues that can be expected if I was lucky enough to...

aw that was tough luck man, well with a bit practice you'll nail it this time around. Sure you'll do fine. I am just starting some serious practice with the bourdon tool and using the practice materials But it seem like it'll be the equivalent of winning X-factor to actually get finally...

Hi Dave, So you have already done the interviews and been to the assessment centre before? Good luck mate, if its just the mechanical test to get through then you've already done the hard part! Stu.

Good question skinnydave, I was told by someone that it's 4.1 but I have 11 day until I sit it myself so if anyone knows from experience, it'd be good to know. Cheers!

Hi Grant, I have also just joined. The 1st stage assessment for those (like us both) who applied for Waverley is being held in Glasgow on 12th August. Sorry you didn't get shortlisted, Grant. I hope you are still able to apply for other stations. Keep trying when local vacancies come...
