Anyone know the pass mark for the bourdon...enhanced or national standard?
Has anyone had a DMI since the franchise was awarded to First/MTR? I'm just wondering what the implications of the new tender have on the ongoing recruitment drive? I'm due for a DMI next week but with the future transfer of the franchise from stagecoach to First/MTR I'm just wondering where my application stands. I haven't been informed of anything further from HR since the initial interview invite so am assuming there are no implications on the existing recruitment drive.
However, I'm just concerned about taking a job (if I was to pass the interview, of course) only to be told I'm surplus to requirement when the new owners come in.
Any information would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Thank you, I will let you know if am told anything further during interview. Can I ask what depot you were interviewed for and what is the start date you were given? Congratulations on passing the interview!
Thanks i was over the moon to receive the good news. I am down for staines and I haven't actually been given a start date which makes it all that much worse. What depot are you going for?
I to have applied for the Staines position, which has changed from " open" to "in process", rang HR to gain any info on driver positions, the lady I spoke to was as useful as a chocolate fire guard and gained nothing from the conversation, so not sure were we stand at the moment, maybe SheikG can shed some light after the interview.
I have a driver interview coming up...but I am confused by the process. The letter doesn't state if it is a DMI or a competency based interview or are TOCs no longer doing 2 interviews??
I have decided to research the company, routes and think of answers to questions on dealing with lone working etc....am I going down the right track...great to get your views??
Cheers
Hi all ,
I'm currently reading through the whole thread and forum and it has loads of information. Also sorry about the long post.
Im kinda new to the railway , only just passed my 1st year. I'm working as a rail operator for SWT and applied to become a mainland driver ( Basingstoke ) back in February this year .
Yesterday I've got a letter inviting me for an assasment day for the 25th of this month. According to that it will take around 5 hours.
I've read it in the forum ( in the man topic How to become a driver ) that others had day 1 and day 2. My letter doesn't mention anything about that, only thing it says if I pass these tests I'll have to attend an interview and an other test.
Someone mentioned there it's better if I ask it here , because this thread just about SWT.
The below tests will be done :
1 , Trainability for Rules and procedures
2 , Tea OCC paper test
3 , ATAVT
4 , The 2hand coordination test
5 , Group Bourdon concentration test
6 , Test of Vigilance ( WAFV )
7 , Written communication test
8 , Colour vision.
I'm not really sure what to expect. I mean I didn't even expect and answer this quick or to get an assessment. Because been told it takes years to get to this stage.
My invitation letter says I'll get the practice material about 7 days before the test. Is it possible to practice in that short notice ?
I will read through this forum and hopefully will see some practice materials.
I had to do some tests to become an RO2 but that wasn't even close to this, this one sounds and looks much tougher.
Also which of these tests are the hardest ?
Thank you
Gabriella
Evening guys, I have an up and coming assessment soon, do you get marked down on the ATAVT perception test for incorrect answers, also Trp 2 cable and dials is it similar to the practice material they send out, any helpful hints and tips would be most welcome.
Many thanks J
