I imagine there'll be a drive again in the near future. As it stands there is 3 course's currently planned for 2025. This is all subject to change though.
Good luck for tomorrow!
I’m pleased to see that you have removed your last post detailing the questions you were asked in your interview today. While I don’t doubt that your intentions were good, what you’ve actually done is provide a ginormous advantage for those people yet to have their interview over those who have already done theirs. Anyone quick enough will have seen and screen shot your post. I have just been sent that screen shot myself. There is now no reason for anyone who has seen it to not give amazingly comprehensive answers, thus making this very unfair.
Sorry but this is actually rubbish. All the MMI questions are here. All the tests are in great detail here. Some people have access to both and still fail so don't worry yourself too much about others.
Also most of the questions he posted are questions you would expect for a train driver role so I don't believe he has put anyone to a great disadvantage.
Knowing how to answer a question ahead of time doesn't actually help most people when actually sat infront of a Driver Manager and one other individual. You still need an ability to convey and hold nerves when questioned in certain ways, interviewers have seen it all and will have ways to spot over rehersed interviewees.

ARL are no longer part of DB so I guess that is why it has stopped working.
I squared capital took over, so how would we check the progress of our application?

They are in the middle of arranging DM interviews at the moment so I think it is very unlikely they would just abandon everything and start again from scratch

Today was the last of this rounds DMIs. They wouldnt have updated your portal as of yet either so I wouldnt worry about that. You should be able to access it through the ARL website now.
Was today the last day of interviews? I thought there was some more next week
I just had my DM interview today and they said they have more people to interview, so there are more interviews left for them to do
Nice, hopefully good new! I wonder how many positions are available for this New Cross depot training start date? @Business Bob @greatkingrat any ideas about the numbers?

My information was 5 vacancies for a Sept NXG course, 8 vacancies for a planned January 2025 Willesden course. The January course maybe why the DMIs are still on going, but again I was told DMIs were 3,5,7,10,12,14 June and only 23 passed the stage 2 assessments. There are 2 more courses planned for 2025 but again this could be subject to change.
Oh thanks, hopefully more positions for training dates open up
Anyone received updates of passing the DMI?

People should have heard back this week but I've heard the course's are uncertain atm.
Heard back this week and I’m so chuffed to let you guys know I’ve passed the DMI. The September or October group scheduled for this year has been cancelled, they stated that they’ll be scheduling hopefully for next year
Any reason why you think the courses have been cancelled or the uncertainty?

Yeh I heard the Sept was cancelled and the Jan is uncertain but wasnt given any reason other than its a long story

Has anyone had email confirmation of their success at the interview stage? I was told I'd get an email by the end of the week to upload details on there for a talent pool as it was confirmed the September course is cancelled. But have yet to receive the email
Still waiting for an email confirmation as well. Only received a call stating I passed the DMI stage.
