Just so you know if you fail any tests with that TOC you won’t be able to sit stage 2 with c2c

Thanks

4 weeks to hear from them or 4 weeks from doing stage 2 to the DMI?

Anyone who only had to resit one thing then went straight to DMI, how long until you heard anything? I had to resit one stage 1 test which I passed on the 8th October and was told everything else is done and I just have to do the dmi, but not heard anything since...or anyone whos recently passed...

Its up to you whether you want to tell them but they can’t discriminate because you are pregnant. MTR are for working mums (on the recruitment part of the website it days ‘supports workingmums.co.uk’) and if I remember rightly the vacancy stated at the bottom they will be offering job...

Well done...I got through yesterday as well

I’ve been told I have to resit bourdon even though I’ve passed all tests to their standards before.

Did anyone on this recruitment drive previously apply to them on the very first recruitment drive (February 2015)? I’m pretty sure they said the scores for the OPC tests would be valid for 5 years with them even though most TOCs are 2...anyone confirm?

I am female...I have been rejected by 2 TOCs in recent months despite already holding a train driving licence with a clean record. So no, I have not been recruited based on my gender. I could swing it the other way and say they’ve discriminated against me as in both applications I stated I am...

How far does everyone live from the depots? Could they be basing rejections on this too?

Yes don’t give up :) I’m a shunt driver for a TOC at the moment but on maternity leave. The position would have been ideal for me hours wise and balancing looking after the babies! But never mind will see what happens in a few months.

Got the same email. I already have railway experience too...just thinking its not meant to be right now and not giving up hope!

I can't remember to be honest but definitely would have put safety first even if it meant being 'selfish' in some scenarios! I haven't heard anything back yet

I wanted to go to the open day but there were no spaces left by the time I heard about it! :(

I suppose it depends on whether safety or the service was hindered to help colleagues/customers as well

I don’t see why they couldn’t. My then partner didn’t have a problem with my shift work when I started on the railway...found the nights a bit annoying when he’d be walking out the door as I was walking in but we made the most of our time off. I was dispatch then and my shifts weren’t as...

I was a dispatcher for a little under 2 years. We had to blow the whistle 50seconds before departure, and again at 35/40 to then give CD anywhere up to 30 seconds before departure and give extra whistles if needed

Don't be too confident. I already have a licence and didn't get anywhere lol.

Well c’est la vie...wasn’t meant to be!! I’d like to think my application was rejected on my location as I’m over an hour away from the depots but mentioned I’m in the process of relocating...didn’t know if they would consider relocation :rolleyes:

Follow the STAR method (Situation Task Action Result) and you will have a good chance. Think it was 5 minutes for the pre-interview questions but don't quote me on that.
