    Abellio Greater Anglia- trainee train drivers/ trainee depot drivers

    Had my medical today, wow those tones are quiet on the hearing test! Also only just had enough pee pee to fill up the cup to the required line haha! They need to contact my gp regarding a certain part of my medical history but as long as my gp gives the all clear then that should be fine...

    Abellio Greater Anglia- trainee train drivers/ trainee depot drivers

    Passed my dmi, medical is on Monday, start at the end of may as trainee Mainline driver based at clacton, so east side won't be starting off as depot this time for some reason.

    Abellio Greater Anglia- trainee train drivers/ trainee depot drivers

    Don't worry about it, I was worried about mine and it was no way near as bad as I expected, I was interview by 2 managers and both were very friendly and polite and made me feel at ease. I should find out by Friday whether I passed of not. Best of luck mate you'll be fine.

    Abellio Greater Anglia- trainee train drivers/ trainee depot drivers

    It was a bit weird how it happened, I got a text message saying I had received an email, however I checked my inbox and there was no email to be found, I emailed Amy to find out what was going on and she replied with the dmi invite email that I should have received the first time around. So yes...

    Liverpool st and ilford are west side so you would start off as Mainline not depot.

    Hey Lorna, Good to hear from you, I'm glad to hear you also passed! Yeah its an awkward wait...

    Hey Lorna, Good to hear from you, I'm glad to hear you also passed! Yeah its an awkward wait because from what I can gather the wait for a DMI can be as short as a week or two after sitting stage 2 to nearly a year after! And imagine waiting a year for it and then failing! Hopefully that wont...

    "What do you know about the role of a train driver?"

    I haven't been given a date for DMI yet, haven't even got a rough clue as to when it might be. Yes this is for the most recent recruitment advertising.

    "What do you know about the role of a train driver?"

    Thanks, yeah I did think it could be a combination of the two. I am prepping for my Greater Anglia DMI yes, to be honest I'm feeling more apprehensive about this interview then I was for the MMI... at least with the MMI you get a rough idea of what sort of questions will be asked so you can...

    "What do you know about the role of a train driver?"

    Hi all Just looking for a pointer in the right direction regarding this question and how to answer it properly. Are they looking for you to tell them about the competency side of things such as "I know the role of a train driver would involve remaining vigilant at all times" etc etc...

    Medical history query

    Thanks for the reply, very reassuring, even more so since I received the call earlier confirming I've passed my MMI, just need to wait for a date for the DMI now.

    Medical history query

    Hi all Recently completed stage 1 and the computerised parts of the stage 2 driver assessments (just awaiting mmi results) I've been wondering about the outcome of my medical (if I get to that stage :wink:) because I've had a couple of blips in the past where I have been prescribed...

    Abellio Greater Anglia- trainee train drivers/ trainee depot drivers

    I passed stage 1 today, I personally thought I had done below average in terms of the amount of questions I answered but I must have done ok because I passed. There were 10 people at the assessment today including me (2 internal 8 external), 3 people got sent home early. Back to Stratford on...

    Me too, I've decided to order the £25 practice cd rom from how2become, if it helps me pass the tests then it'll be the best £25 I've ever spent, if not, then on eBay it goes I guess.

    Correct :lol::wink: --- old post above --- --- new post below --- As far as I'm aware there is no way of checking your SJT score

    Abellio Greater Anglia- trainee train drivers/ trainee depot drivers

    I'm booked in for 9:15am to 4:30pm so I would assume I'm doing 1 and 2 on the same day? and then DMI and medical following that if successful?
  20. RyanE1991

    Abellio Greater Anglia- trainee train drivers/ trainee depot drivers

    That was me, I scored 11 on the application, received invite to SJT the following day, received invite to assessment centre the day after that.
