Not much help as havent done one but done lots of reading on here.
Everyone recommends the STAR technique. But if you do a search you will get lots of advice

OP suggests the interview is qualified driver, so probably doesn't need to do any.

TPE get qualified Drivers to do a couple of short tests (SCAAT and writing a couple of reports/repair slips) for their own internal recruitment process but it doesn't affect your current job.

Don't believe we do the basic tests anymore. You will get some rules questions, think along the lines of "describe temporary block working" speeds for various faults, another favourite was drawing an Absolute block section and labelling everything in it.
You will then get the "can you tell us a time when....customer service,emergency situation, challenged an instruction.
Your SOL will be checked at some point also so always important to be honest with that as I've seen a couple have offers withdrawn for not disclosing incidents.
Good luck hopefully see on board soon.
