Cheers! Danny from Australia

Gday Richard I'd like to thank you for the videos. I watched the ones relevant to trainee train driver. Using these videos I applied and was successful in becoming a trainee train driver for Sydney Trains in Australia. Without these videos I know I would have had no chance. Cheers

how did it go?

[@barbarabush-bakon9215]

Excellent video of questions & answers

[@CareerVidz]

Glad you liked it

[@mattes7844]

Thank you for all this great information. Could you possibly recommend a few questions to ask of the TOC when it's my turn to ask? Cheers.

[@CareerVidz]

No problem Matt: Q1. whilst I am waiting to find out the results of the interview, do you recommend I read any additional materials to learn more about your Train Operating Company or the role? I am keen to learn as much as possible. Q2. I noticed on your website you have a new batch of rolling stock being delivered soon (or another relevant news story from their website). Has this been an enjoyable project to roll out? I recommend only asking a maximum of 2 questions. I hope the above helps and make sure you check out my website here: traindriver.org Cheers, Richard

[@Groindz]

@@CareerVidz Is it also suitable to ask no questions or would you advise to ask at least one?

[@firefly361]

I would love to become a train driver but I’m not ready to deal with fatality, I’ve heard stories how it could scare you for the rest of your life even after counselling and supports you receive.

[@forza223bowe5]

Sexual Chocolate Robbie It’s just the luck of the draw, some drivers might go on for their whole career without one

[@brianburns7211]

You have to remember that there’s nothing you can do about it. It’s happened to me, and unless, such as this conversation, it comes up, I don’t think about it. It happened to me over 10 years ago. It may happen again later today, as I’m getting ready to go to work now. Who knows it might happen again tonight.

[@Blazey]

I failed at the train driver test in norway (psychometric test). Only 2 attempts here as well, but 18 months quarantine... There is no interview there, but these videos are helpfull anyways=)

Random question but I’m thinking of becoming a train driver what are the wages like for a driver down south?

[@CareerVidz]

GOOD! Approx £40,000: www.traindriver.org/

[@garethmoores6049]

Is it true you can only attempt psychometric testing twice for trainee train driver vacancies? I've failed once so I'm a bit apprehensive on applying again.

[@gavgrewal2704]

At the moment yes, only two attempts unfortunately

[@goaty551]

halo sir is The train test in UK similar as in Danmark

[@maxkchefmaxshirish]

thanks for this great video , can you do one for telephone interview test for trainee train driver ?

[@Jake-dc3dd]

Hi great video just wondering if you fail can you retake the course because train driving is my dream career and I think I could potentially fail because it seems such a hard and intense course. Also is it the same course that virgin trains and northern network rail offer?

[@umermalik1206]

Hi I like your videos, I’m class1 lorry driver and I’m planning to be train driver from long time English is not my first language and also my all education is from Pakistan what is your advice Thanks

[@CareerVidz]

Hi there, we don't current offer a PayPal option, sorry...

[@mbgarrison2279]

CareerVidz how do I know this site is secure?

Your personal details are encrypted using a 128-bit SSL certificate, the same technology used to secure online banking."

Is locomotive engineer is a driver?

[@CareerVidz]

Hi, I believe a locomotive engineer is someone who monitor speeds, air pressure, battery use, and other instruments to ensure that the locomotive runs smoothly.

[@muniirali5730]

Mark Caiger-Watson hi mark I have my interview on Wednesday do you possibly remember the type of questions you was asked by the managers

[@galaxycoder]

I have been a mainline passenger driver as well as a Duty Operations Manager, A Traincrew Supervisor and a Performance Manager and have had a 25 year railway career. Everything you are saying is utter nonsense. The drivers role isn't customer centric, its operationally focused, the passengers are just a retail aspect, but ALL drivers are Operations staff, so square that circle! A seasoned manager can sniff out bullshit and non genuine applicants from 100 yards and what counts is people who are aware the standard to drive trains is very high with a 9 in 10 failure rate and that's just the assessment test. Train drivers get paid for what they know and their ability to react to emergency situations and do the right thing instantly as an instinct. You have to stay calm in any emergency as you have the responsibility of as many as 800 lives at any one time, that's more than can fit on an Airbus 380.

[@CareerVidz]

Wow, which TOC did you work for that didn't have a focus on the customer? Agree with your second part of the comment, you will get asked questions on handling emergency situations, handling pressure, and staying calm, and focussed 👍

[@mbgarrison2279]

I want to apply online for a train driver! I’ve noticed two books and dvd on the website, which one do I buy ? For the online application first interview and online application tests?

[@CareerVidz]

Hi there, thanks for your email. Our advice is to opt for this one if you are just starting out with the application and selection: www.how2become.com/careers/train-driver/ Good luck! Regards, Richard

[@mbgarrison2279]

Thank u

[@CareerVidz]

You're welcome :)

[@mbgarrison2279]

CareerVidz just had a look , just making sure it’s the white and yellow book?

[@CareerVidz]

Yeah, that's the one :)

[@galacticambitions1277]

Thanks - useful video. The only thing I'd contest is the answer to encountering an obstacle on the track. If you're travelling at speed and encounter something you will be acting on instinct and split second decision-making - you are not going to have time to be thinking consciously of the people on the train. I would also say you first need to assess the obstacle before then following procedure. If the obstacle is minor then maybe you are going to carry on as tho it wasn't there. Assessment is the first step.

[@CareerVidz]

Hi, thanks for your thoughts. I'm not sure I agree, but I respect your view. The priority is safety of the passengers, yourself and the rolling stock. It's also very important to follow your trainee train driver safety training and use an appriproaite dynamic risk assessment whilst assessing the situation.

[@galacticambitions1277]

@@CareerVidz Thanks for your reply. I don't really know what I'm talking about as I've never driven a train, I drive artics for a living. But even as a car driver I don't think I'd have extra thoughts about who might be in the car with me when encountering something at speed, all my attention would be outside the vehicle. But maybe it's not the same for everyone. As for separating out assessing and then subsequent responses, I guess you could roll them all together under the heading of training. You're definitely right that you can't spin that answer out any more than the basics when you have no experience, but I think separating out assessment would be a safe bet and would allow for a slightly fuller answer. I am cynical about a lot of 'corporate values' stuff. The people who actually invented trains in the first place never thought about such things, they just got on with it, and the more 'customer focused' the industry has become, the more I think the public has come to hate it. I realise I have to play the game and spout the jargon if I'd have a hope of making my face fit if applying for a job as a train driver, but inside I'll know it's a lot of HR created gumph.

[@mistofoles]

Well, I thought common sense would dictate that if you come across an obstacle on the track, you stop the train and immediately call it in before another another loco smashes into the back of you.

[@CareerVidz]

How many people do you know that have common sense?

[@JulianShagworthy]

"What are the missions and aims of this Train Operating Company?" I must assume that "world domination" would be a poor answer to this question?

[@CareerVidz]

My advice would be to stick to the framework of the answer provided :)

[@JulianShagworthy]

@@CareerVidz Ha, on a genuine note, thank you for all the tools and techniques you've been providing for many years now - I've secured a few jobs due to the confidence your work has given me 👍

😳

[@oddities-whatnot]

And now train drivers have voted to strike for more pay ! WHAT ? They do a short working week on 50-60K plus a year and cant manage because of rising living costs ? Disgraceful. They should try living on minimum wage.

[@CareerVidz]

Thanks for the honest comment

[@BuddhaShrimp]

Well it's a bit different between controlling a machinery and be responsible of safety for possibly hundreds of people's lives on daily basis and serving a mocha 😉

[@crg92]

I think it's the train station staff, cleaners/maintence signallers etc that are striking, because of this the trains can't run. Not acctually the drivers striking.

[@teeteeme5752]

I know. It makes me cringe.

[@GideonGideonski-jf7ze]
