What is the process following not passing the trainee train driver assessment centre?
Additional information
Hello, I have recently attended a trainee train driver assessment centre and passed all tests, except for one, which I can retake next year. I can reapply or do this privately, but I wasn't given any further information or contact details. Will need to look for future trainee train driver vacancies?

Hi Craig,
Should you wish to take the assessment again via GWR then it would be a case of waiting for another vacancy to be advertised and reapplying, but only once 12 months have passed since your previous assessment date. You'd be perfectly entitled to also retake the assessment via an application to another train operator or other means, however the 12-month wait would still apply as this is an industry standard.
