As I understand it - if he were to pass the assessments with Arriva, these results would also stand for South Western. You just need to be aware that some TOCS want enhanced scores and some don't. If he failed any tests with Arriva, he would be ruled out of taking the same test with South...
In terms of written assessments prior to being offered a position, there really isn't likely to be anything you need to 'write' and submit at all. The assessments are mostly a) b) c) d) answers. Keep positive - if you pass this interview, then the assessments and MMI you will get a place in a...
Pretty sure Northern are standard, with Transpennine, Arriva and East Midlands being enhanced. However, on speaking to OPC they have said that 'enhanced' pass marks all vary depending on the TOC.
I'd be reapplying straight away - nothing to lose. Imagine if your initial application is no longer on their system and the job closes before HR reply to your email...
Thanks very much for posting - wouldn't have spotted this one.

Thanks in advance
I believe they will ask you to do distance reading with each eye separately, so if your 'reading' eye doesn't meet the distance minimum then I'd assume you wouldn't pass. Safer to wear normal contacts or glasses for the test I would think...
Many thanks for your reply and further information. I'm more than happy to fill in the very lengthy application if they aren't going to reject me based on current address. Can I ask - do you work for Scotrail?

Thanks for the info everyone - it's appreciated :D
Swayed - was the short sighted test each eye separately or both together?
Dynamonic - what the heck?! Sounds like something from Star Trek. Ps. Hope you get good news soon.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
