    Assessments & Medicals discussion

    That's pretty accurate to how it is in the real tests, honestly. It's not enough time to take everything in, you just have to kinda go with your gut and try and remember as much as you can in the flash.

    ASLEF "company information" section gone?

    I still have access to it, though I can never find the route in on the aslef page. Try this link and it should hopefully work for you :)

    LNER - Apprentice Driver - Kings Cross & Newcastle (05/09/24)

    The Kings cross email was similar but a little different: Thank you for your interest in joining LNER and for applying to our Driver Talent Pool earlier this year. We’re currently reviewing applications and planning ahead for our next recruitment phase, which is likely to support our 2026...

    Shunter (Ground Role) - GTR

    A ground shunter will work to move trains around the yard but without driving them around the yard. So they will change points and direct using radio and hand signals. As has been said, depot drivers do that element but also drive the train themselves. I believe three bridges and Horsham are...

    Thameslink - Shunter Driver - Three Bridges (25/08/23)

    So it looks like this will be me. Just passed medical and now waiting for that confirmation and start date. I'm elated. It's been a long long long road to this point, with a number of stops, starts and close calls, but I'm finally there (hopefully.) I have a couple of quick questions, if anyone...

    Southeastern Trainee Driver - All Depots - (20/09/21)

    I passed the DMI, but I was unable to attend the MMI, so I will be in the next one some time next year. Frustrating to have such a long wait, but we'll get there.

    LNER - Apprentice Train Driver - Kings Cross (14/02/23)

    Got my interview rejection email yesterday. Really thought it had gone well but I clearly fluffed some aspect. Good luck to everyone else involved.

    From my last application, it was around three weeks from doing the video interview to receiving the email that I hadn't made the cut

    LNER - Apprentice Driver - Kings Cross & Leeds (06/01/22)

    It's sounding like everyone had the same time, just describing it different ways. 30 seconds to read, three minutes to record take one, three minutes to review take one, three minutes to record take two, two five second countdowns, and additional time to decide if you want to submit take one...

    LNER - Apprentice Driver - Kings Cross & Leeds (06/01/22)

    I feel sorry for the poor staff whose job it is to watch many many many videos of potential interviewees and whittle that list down.

    Avanti West Coast Trainee Train Driver Euston and Wolverhampton

    Just got the dreaded "unfortunately" email from OPC. Second one, so that's my lives gone. Beyond heartbroken. Been chasing this for seven years, and it's just gone in a whimper. Good luck to everyone else out there.

    Failed Tea Occ today

    What I did to practice the keep test is I made a bunch of mp3 files in a music making app, using two different drum sounds. Just short ones, labeled as different numbers. Then I would do random number generators and stitch the first five or so numbers I got with that into a playlist, and do the...
