Me, me, me. Me too. Little nod to The Matrix, agent Smith scene for you there lad.;)

No mate, didn't get asked to do anything like that. Fill out a form or two of your medical history, do a basic eye test, colour blind test. Height and weight along with a hearing test and ECG and that's pretty much it.

Congratulations! There's not really any preparation that can be done for the computer tests so all I'd really advise you do is be fully prepared for the MMI. You already know your answers so just learn them and be prepared to go into detail for each one using the STAR method. It's a relaxed...

Well done for making it through the process! I also received a phone call off a mobile number informing me of a job offer, pending a successful medical and reference check. I then had confirmation of my medical via email a few days later. The email only came after I'd spoken with TfW...

Just beware....if you've got a bit of a hairy chest they dry shave you for the ECG! Heed my warning and do it yourself to avoid a nasty scrape...literally :lol:

Absolutely go for it! I've also just committed to leaving a stable job for a trainee driver position, and although the situation at present is uncertain to say the least, the opportunity may never arise again.

Congratulations! Great to hear someone else on hear is starting on the November course as well! Hopefully there are others who have, or will soon have a start date too. I was genuinely shocked to be given a start date this year, though it would be next year for sure as I'd heard there are...

Aaah right, I didn't realise they had people waiting in a pool from last year, that's fair enough. Yes mate I'm in the pool, I applied in March. I think they might be placing the odd person from this year's recruitment onto these courses as well. Were you in a pool from last year then?

Just what I was told from someone who works there. In my DMI they said there was a course in October, then another starting early next year and didn't mention one commencing in November, which is now scheduled to happen. I took this as confirmation of what I was told was true and that...

The October course has been pushed back to November so there's still time to get medicals in along with your average notice period. Just hoping these new spikes of the virus don't interrupt matters once again. There's also the possibility they plan on doing classroom lessons via Microsoft...

I was told at the beginning of my MMI that the pass mark required was standard. Good luck tomorrow! And regarding your question about the MMI, it's very relaxed and as long as you know your answers you'll be fine I'm sure.

Congratulations! Feels great to know you've passed all the tests and you can't do anything more now. It took about 3 days to get confirmation via email I'd been placed in the pool so I'm sure you'll hear any day now.

Hi, has the person you know who has passed everything, only just heard back and been booked in for their medical? If so, when did they first apply? Cheers!

Informed me I'd passed the interview on a Friday, also asking for my NI number, then asked me to attend paper assessments via email the following Tuesday.

Hi, no this was the first time I've been through the process. DMI first, then onto assessments one and two on separate days and yes you're right, the whole thing is very tough, especially on your mental state! :lol: I've also applied for Northern now that all the assessments are done and...

They asked for my NI in preparation for the assessments so I'd say that's a good sign! They seem to be progressing people in different ways as I had my DMI before the first assessment but some people are going straight through to tests after the initial paper sifts.

I suppose it depends where you've applied for. I think Chester is their biggest station in the north and that's where I did the paper tests but I've also applied to work out of there. The computer tests and MMI are done in Cardiff. I'd imagine they do the paper tests there as well depending...

Nice one congratulations! What day did you do yours last week? There were 4 of us on the day including myself when we did ours and we all passed the computer tests. Didn't find out if everyone passed the MMI as well though as you had to leave immediately after the interview. I'm in for...

Yeah, in the past I was in the same boat when wanting to apply for a position in Crewe, literally a couple of minutes over! On reflection I'd say the computer tests were OK but I was definitely more concerned about doing them, simply because you can't really prepare for them. I know some...

Nice one! Yeah, feels like a huge weight has lifted of my shoulders! That's not a bad shout about Liverpool , can't do any harm having a go!
