I wonder what they will do with the people still in the system that recently passed the assessments.

Annoying that they specify they will only accept applications from people that already live within 30 minutes of the depot :(

Yep I did, although that seemed fairly generic. Will see tomorrow I guess if they email back to say I was too late for the posted vacancy! A bit frustrating as I had all my answers planned out last night, and tonight was just a question of adding them to the pdf. But was to be expected with...

God knows if I've got mine in on time, emailed it around 10 mins ago! Not holding out much hope though.

Does anybody know if they are doing the new psychometric tests? The email I received is somewhat inconclusive, but the attachment does suggest something different to the current norm.

Had the reactions test and the structured interview today - passed the reactions but my word that interview was tough. Will be gobsmacked if I've passed it, the woman just kept probing more and more when I'd already said all I knew and explained how I'd felt about it several times before -...

I have done the practice test many times and am pretty comfortable with it now (untill it reaches past 600!). But yes that had been a problem. With you confirming it was my problem and not the programmes, I tried running it with my headphones in - can here the difference clear as day now...

I don't know if it's just me but I can't really differentiate the tone from Hi or LO - there seems to be no difference to me!

Doesn't seem to be any questions or anything in the application form. You just upload your CV - that caught me off guard! Almost like I accidentally applied for it, I just thought I was at the registration part of the process!

Beveridges, you mentioned you were a platform assistant prior to moving into the driving grade. Is this a well-trodden path for just Northern, or do other TOC's tend to bring up more internal vacancies for trainee drivers?

This is an interesting point, but in terms of objective-based tests such as the structured interview, do the OPC tend to look very favourably on railway-based experiences? Or are the experiences they are looking for simply just more likely to occur once you work within the rail industry?

Thanks for the info! Without starting a new thread, I thought I'd ask this in here too: Does anyone know how long the Versant test results stay on your record for? Are they permanent or do they expire?

I had an email today inviting me to a Stage 2 assessment day, following my success at Stage 1. How many of those that didn't go straight to the DM interview will I be seeing on the 23rd? :)

Hi, Probably an extremely simple and obvious question for most in here, but I was just wondering what the differences were between a relief signaller and just a normal signaller? Cheers!

Well done on the job offers! Your decision depends on what you're looking for as others have said, and also future career prospects. Where is the tram job btw? Each place I've looked haven't been recruiting each time I've checked, but admittedly I haven't been looking too often!

Just signed up on the basis of your persuasive pitch SkinnyDave! I actually have a question with regards to multiple applications: I received an email from First Group today telling me I'd been successful in the phone interview, and to book an assessment day. I already have a first stage...
