RAAT tests don’t seem so difficult? Compared to some other tests like for instance I remember an avanti psychometric being quite hard.

RAAT isn’t a psychometric test, that comes later. RAAT is just a test of your ability to understand and follow written rules/guidance.

It might not be difficult but if you take a look at the last XC recruitment thread you'll see many were rejected after they attempted it.

I do wonder what will happen now DB have sold XC…

Have I missed that or something…
I googled it. Appears as though they've sold it to some enormous capital company based outside of Europe.
Nothing in the short term

Could you please send me a link to any article about it? I’m being completely thick and can’t find anything.

Rail union RMT has reacted angrily to the sale of Arriva rail company by German state railway to a firm registered in the Cayman Islands tax haven.

Someone beat me to it. I wasn't aware of it either until today.

They’ve really kept that under the radar
Do you happen to have the link to that thread? I've had a good look I just can't see it.

Same haha!I'm still waiting to hear back from that application!
December - saying they’ll take some time to get through all the applications. It’s since disappeared from my profile, so hoping that doesn’t happen again this time round.

Exactly the same as mine, I believe I read somewhere they get deleted after 6 months but not sure on that

No one’s heard anything. I wouldn’t worry about it, it’ll take time and as soon as someone receives anything they’ll tell us on here.

I contacted them Monday morning and received a quick reply, Monday 30th should be the day for the online testing.
