Our ref: FOI-1890-1819/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 20 October 2018 asking for information about the night tube train operator campaign PT 026620.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.

a) The amount of people that attended the stage AC1 and the amount of people that progressed to AC2

1261 attended AC1 and 251 progressed to AC2.

b) The amount of people that attended AC2 and got hired.

To date,163 candidates have been hired.

c) The current waiting list for people who have been hired waiting to be a night tube train operator.

112 internal employees on the waitlist for Night Tube Train Operator.

d) The percentage of people who requested feedback in this campaign.

358 candidates requested feedback. External candidates are not eligible to receive feedback but all internal candidates are encouraged to request feedback as part of their personal development. The figure therefore represents 23% of the internal applicants. This figure is for all candidates that have requested AC1 and/or AC2 feedback as at 24/10/18. Please note this campaign has not been completed and some candidates are still within the timeframe to request feedback as it has not been eight weeks since they applied. This figure may well therefore slightly increase over time.

e) Whether the benchmark on the tests were higher or lower than the more recent previous night tube campaign

The benchmarks for this recruitment campaign were identical to the previous campaign.

Finally the amount of internal candidates v external candidates that applied.

The Internal V External split in terms of submitted applications is: 1547 Internal and 8746 External.
