No news is typically good news - however, it's always worth an email to recruitment for an update

I completed my TCT the day after it was emailed over to me. The closing date to complete the test was 28/2/2024. All other tests I had a confirmation of passing about 24 hours after the closing date. However this time I haven’t had any such email.
How long should I leave it before giving them an email asking if I’ve got through to the next stage? Cheers

There doesn't seem to be a set time for a response to these tests. If you feel there's been a lengthy wait, send recruitment an email asking for an update.

Have you done the TCT?

I haven't even been offered the SCAAT yet... hence why I'm still waiting to hear whether I get the tests.

Just got notification that I passed my TCT so guessing it’s on to group stage

I’m still waiting for the results of the SCAAT, which I sat on the 27th of Feb.

I'm currently on my minders week. Really surprised at how much the job can be at times even at quieter intervals. Did anyone else feel like this when they started?

Good to know you started (presumably in January?). How long after the medical did you have a confirmed start date and contract please?

It was about 2-3 days. Medical wad on the Wednesday, had my contracts through on the Friday.

Please can I ask what the medical entailed? Thanks

Many thanks. I had my medical on Wednesday, after a rather fraught journey to Liverpool involving roadworks, thick fog and a cancelled train which despite leaving an extra hour in my schedule made me late - resulting in rather high blood pressure readings! Subsequently heard I'd been passed OK.

Eyesight, blood pressure, drug and alcohol testing, hearing test and a questionnaire around pre-existing medical conditions and if you've been off sick in the past 12 months.

Did a medical for a job at DB last year and just scraped by because of my hearing. Hopefully it doesn’t get much worse!

Anyone else starting on the conductors course in late June in Chester? I've spent the weekend signing contracts and handing in my notice. Can't wait to start!

Congratulations! Which depot are you going to be working at? That's a good amount of notice that they have given you too

Llandudno Junction. I'd actually applied for Pwllheli (as that's where the advertised vacancy was) with Llandudno Junction as second choice. It suits me very well as the Junction is closer to home!

Cheers! Just waiting to hear back now! Hopefully next week or so!

Just heard back from TfW. I have been successful in the tests and now it's the waiting game!

What does the assessment day consist of? Team building exercises etc?

From what I've been told, there's a team building exercise where you have to prioritise tasks and thena communication test, where you have to write an accurate report about an incident. Now I could be wrong, but IIRC, asking people who've been through the process more recently than me have said this.

That was what we did in December....

Ah cheers for the heads up. They did mention on the email it may take a few weeks for a member of recruitment to get back to me.
