The line manager interview felt really relaxed and they were really friendly. Its different to the MMI, but the same competencies are required. When is your assessment centre

and does anyone who has recently been to the 2nd stage assessment centre has any information about the GLOP test??? i mean if its the same test maybe we can help each other by remembering some questions or answers on the test. that could be a great help to anyone.

Well good luck for Tuesday.......
There isn't really any point in remembering the information for GLOP now you are likely to forget the details or mix up the answer. Listen to the text on the day and make the notes on the piece of paper and revise it. Thats what they expect you to do and its how the mind learns.

Well done for passing it! I'm found out the result of the MMI within 5 days. Got my date for the medical, just hoping it all goes fine.

Just hang it there. There were 18 positions available, and there is definatly a course running in September so plenty of time for the assessments.
(( DONT KNOW HOW I FAILED THAT!!???don't know if I can aapply for other companies.?

Sorry to hear that mate. On the bright side you passed all the mandatory tests which means you haven't failed, so as soon as other positions come available with TOC's get your application in.
I hated the VSE, I surprised myself that I passed it.

Not too sure about that. I'm sure if you use google to search the forum you will find the answer.
Just got back from the medical, all seemed to go pretty well just got to wait on the drugs test I think.

Yes you can mate so don't wait!
Only LOROL & MTR require the VSE but it's not a requirement set by RSSB so if you've passed all the other tests then you've passed the "Trainee Train Driver Psychometric Tests".
Thanks dude!!! Will see what I can do but it seems no company recruiting now

you know i got a message from lorol which saying i can't apply to other train operating companies. whats that about??? i think the lady who sent me the message has got it wrong. but again i am not an expert my self. as far as i know if you apply to another company it should be ok. need to look into it further. i have this feeling i can't apply to other companies until 6 months.
Stallion I feel for you man. These tests will make or break people by the sounds of them. I too am a bus driver and looking to move on from that to trains but from reading these comments about all these tests really makes me feel really anxious. I just hope all the tests you done are relevant to the job. I can't stand tests which are crap like "two train leave station C at the same time what time will blah blah"
if you have test coming up don't worry about. its ok. they are not hard just intense. in the sense you just need to concentrate a lot. just revise and do as much preparation as you can. i am actually ok. i have passes all my mandatory test. i don't need to do the tests again. but the only problem is, i think, i have to wait 6 months to reapply to other companies. if train companies who don't do the VSE test i can just apply and start training, if they don't have their own tests. and the interview of course. so i have done well.
i am happy that tests are over for me. need any help just message me. will try my best to help--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
thats what i thought but i am not sure. will try to find out. this is the email i got

Unfortunately, on this occasion you have not been successful.
If you wish to re-apply to us or to another rail company, you will be able to do so once six months have elapsed and if we are advertising for the role.
Please note that as per the railway standards, any applicant who fails part of the assessment process twice is prohibited from completing the process again.
We wish you all the best in your search for employment.

Passed the medical, got told they are sending the contract out tomorrow so it should be here by the end of the week. Got a start date of the end of July.
Im still waiting to hear back from my initial application, cant even remember how long now, i think since april? I really would have thought if it was a rejection i would have been informed by now, but then again people have got start dates so im really confused. Anyone else in the same boat as me or had a rejection email??
