Im a Guard at a different TOC, been in that job for not far off 10 years and I applied for drivers jobs pretty much along side the original application and on and off ever since. Been a long journey even to get to this point!!

Congratulations. Has anybody else that got the invite to complete the RAAT had a phone call yet?

I completed the RAAT and haven’t had a phone call yet.

Well done! What's your depot if you're happy to say? I wonder - maybe they go depot by depot and that's why some of us already heard back and some did not.

Why wouldn't you pick it up? Someone's trying to call you

 

[sd0733]

Usually a sales call or a scam so i rarely bother now!

 

[Demx93]

I haven’t heard anything back, probably won’t but I’m so pleased for everybody that is progressing!!

 

[Claire-r]

Just had a call for progressing to the next stage for a Microsoft Teams interview later on in the week. Hopefully other people hear too.

Is this with XC? Where are they based? I had a missed call from London and praying that wasn’t them.

I completed the RAAT assessment 1st April and deadline was 7th April so now just waiting to see if I passed

It won't be a London number for XC.

They will leave a voicemail if they can’t get a hold of you.

 

[Glawsrfc]

Glad people seem to be progressing eventually.
Still showing “application in progress” for me unfortunately.....they’re just making the frustration worse by not at least making contact when others are seemingly progressing through the process

 

[PickleTree]

Had my phone call this morning, booked in for interview next week. Completed my RAAT just over a week ago, applied for Bournemouth.

 

[221129]

Just received a very nice phonecall!

 

[Edinburgh1987]

Got a phone call today for interview, applied for Edinburgh.

TBf it’s not been too long. I know it’s frustrating but when I applied to TPE last year it took 4 months to get any sort of reply - then the job was pulled.

 

[ALADOU47]

Got a phone call today for interview, applied for Edinburgh.

Nice one I’ve applied for Edinburgh not had the phone call yet

 

[Edinburgh1987]

Good luck, I'm sure they'll be working their way through.

I doubt it but anyone know if the interview will be competency based etc?

 

[221129]

I doubt it but anyone know if the interview will be competency based etc?

Absolutely it will be. Almost all Railway role interviews are.

Hey everyone.

After passing the online RAAT test for this vacancy based at Manchester Picc, I have a teams interview this Thursday with a DTM and assistant DTM. Just wanted to know if anyone knew what questions would be asked? I'm currently a guard at Northern. Had a few incidents I've had to manage. Hoping that will help. Thanks in advance for any information.

 

[LCC106]

If you use the search function at the top right of the page and search for DMI, there is loads of info. Welcome to the forum and yes, you should be able to really draw on your experiences.

 

[jakefoy1989]

Thank you for that.

 

[Mohka89]

I did not finish the RAAT test. Got to question 32. I hope I do get a call for Manchester.
