I'm in the same boat as yourself . I did the first OPC test but i never got an invite for the SJT test (second one) . I havent heard from OPC or Scotrail either .I completed the OPC test (initial) and haven't heard anything back. Should I expect to progress from here, the application is still valid on ScotRail portal?
I emailed there and got a reply. It's still game on by the looks of it and result will be through in due courseI'm in the same boat as yourself . I did the first OPC test but i never got an invite for the SJT test (second one) . I havent heard from OPC or Scotrail either .

The Depot manager I'd imagine. Just go in, show face, and ask if they are available for a chat.Hi, I am awaiting an interview for a Motherwell based trainee drivers job after passing my initial tests. Could anyone point me in the right direction of who or where would be best to contact in regards to getting some help or helpful information to do with the interview. Thank you in advance!
Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it!The Depot manager I'd imagine. Just go in, show face, and ask if they are available for a chat.
I very much doubt they will be allowed to just walk into a depot.The Depot manager I'd imagine. Just go in, show face, and ask if they are available for a chat.
Ah, ok, thank you for that too! Any ideas then please?I very much doubt they will be allowed to just walk into a depot.
I didn't mean directly in to the depot. I meant the station and ask for the depot manager.I very much doubt they will be allowed to just walk into a depot.

It's good to hear positive news
No mate you seem a lot further down the road than most people , the SJT is an online test before you get invited into assessment centre.Sorry if this is a stupid question but is the SJT different from the initial tests that include the Group Bourdon test? I sat the initial tests on 25th March in Glasgow, I got an email to say id passed roughly 1 week later and was told id get an interview shortly, its been just over two weeks since I got the email saying id passed. After reading this I understand its just a matter of waiting it out.
May I ask was this for the 2024 application intake?No mate you seem a lot further down the road than most people , the SJT is an online test before you get invited into assessment centre.
I applied in 2022 mate but heard nothing until the beginning of March 2024 asking if I was still interestedNo mate you seem a lot further down the road than most people , the SJT is an online test before you get invited into assessment centre.
