Group Bourdon for a kick-off. You also do a ticket selling test. There are some others in between that escape me at the moment - but someone will prolly be along in a bit to fill in the gaps.

Advice on the tests. I did the LM tests and interviewed successfully so am familiar with them.
The concentration tests will be exactly as per the examples they have sent, so all you can do with those is practice every day between now and your assessment day which should get you to the level required.
However, the ticket selling and verbal reasoning tests were in my experience harder and more complicated in the flesh than in the examples, with there being far more data to refer to, so be prepared for that.
The ticket selling tests in particular were more complex than in the examples. I advise you to look through the questions and pick out the 'easy wins' first and do the more complex ones at the end instead of dwelling on them in order. However if you do this be careful to place your answers in the correct boxes as you won't be working in order.
Don't try to over think the verbal reasoning questions as you will end up answering nothing. Don't panic and be logical, pick out the bits of information that are relevant and only make decisions based on facts and not presumptions or your existing knowledge of anything.
My interview was some weeks later and medical even further along the line, took 6 months to get a start date. Good luck.

True that. Tested in August, interview September, medical November, started in February. Should have been starting at the end of November, but I had to give a month's notice to my employer. I could have gone sooner, but they had been really good to me, and I didn't really want to drop them in it by leaving them short.
So did tests today. We were told they would tell us this afternoon if successful or not as interviews end of this week or Monday. There is a course starting in May (with spaces on it) and then in August. Not heard anything this afternoon - is it usual to be told one thing that doesn't come true?

Yes, in the railway, expect to be waiting. The same happened to me and I am now in a job with them, so it pays to be patient (if you're worried give them a ring in a few days!)
Cheers buddy.

The alarm went off for 3 minutes during the assessment....I got an email that we have to redo the assessment at later date
I got an email today To say I've passed the tests and I have an interview booked for Monday 23 March. You might want to ring them and confirm where you actually stand mate.
