Hi Austin,

Thank you for your enquiry.

I can confirm that you would still need to apply for a trainee role and pass the initial stages, which consist of online testing and a video interview. If you were to successfully pass each of these stages, when it came to the next stage of the psychometric assessment you would only be asked to complete any of the tests that you didn't already have a pass for. If you already have a valid pass in all of the applicable tests, then you would skip this stage and go straight through to Driver Manager interview. All results are stored on a national database so the driver recruitment team would check this at the relevant stage.

Unfortunately, we're not currently advertising for any Trainee Train Driver roles, however when we do you will find them advertised here, whilst you can also register for job alerts via that same page.

I hope that helps.
