The "two strikes" thing...

[Lincoln_biker]

Hi guys,
The threads here have made it fairly clear that if you fail driver assessments twice, you get black listed from any sort of future driver training. Does this apply to conductors? I'm currently applying for a conductors role and it got me wondering, if I made a hash up of the assessment or interview, could this have a knock-on with future driver or conductor roles I may wish to apply for? LB

This rule most certainly did apply to guards/conductors once upon a time, I know South West Trains will allow candidates to sit the assessments more than twice. I can't speak for other TOCs however.
