Establish specific, validated criteria and pass standards for driver training

●Inquiry recommendation
Thames Trains and other TOCs should ensure that their driver training and testing programmes adequately reflect the need for specific, relevant and validated criteria. Drivers should be tested against these criteria, and a definite pass standard should be established. Consideration should be given as to how often drivers should repeat key steps in their training before submitting themselves for testing (para 9.64).

How this page is built
Source and Response are verbatim from primary documents. The Evidence trail records published activity since — written statements, consultation outcomes, inspection findings, parliamentary references. The Index does not paraphrase or characterise intent; it tracks what has been published. Where the evidence is the absence of action (a missed deadline, a slipped timetable), that absence is documented from primary sources rather than inferred.
This recommendation's data is verified periodically against primary sources. The Index is monitored for staleness weekly.
