Just got a rejection e-mail off FSR so gonna have to wait another 6 months to see if any similar positions are available
Thanks First ScotRail - I'm guessing that includes routes through to Hamilton/Larkhall (or is that covered by Motherwell Depot?).

When I did my FSR test last year, there were around 30 of us in a room and we did the assessments together and were phoned later that day to tell us whether we had passed or failed. While doing my training at the school, all the tests we saw being performed were to much lower numbers so they may be a bit more strict at the application stage.Hey i was just reading this forum and just wanted to ask about the test to become a driver ive been accepted to take my test in august in glasgow and just wondering if anyone has any experience of it? im studing a couple of books about mechanical reasoning and doing the practice tests given. and does anyone know if its a pass mark in the tests or is it a simple pass/fail to get to the interview stage?
thanks!

After being told I had passed, I was given a date for a Driver Team Manager interview (2 DTMs). After passing that I then got another date for my reaction test and formal interview (HR person). I was told at the time that I had passed and was then immediately sent for a medical (they do tell you that you may be sent for a medical so it gives you a heads up not to drink the night before :roll: ). The doctor can tell you right away whether there were any issues with the medical (other then the urine test) so it gives you an idea where you are.
All the best with the tests etc and let us know how you get on!
