If we make a mistake in the group bourden test can we cross it out and it won’t be counted as a mistake or if u mark the wrong one you can’t cross it out ?
I don't know fully, but from people I know from work I'd assume so, they started training on 26th of Feb, so if you've only done RAAT I'd assume you're out the running this time as many other depots are already onto DMI and assessmentsIs Manchester depot all done and dusted now. Says application in process after completing RAAT tests going on nearly 3 months now
YesFor the day in Watford next week for opc tests is it just the paper tests as they said stage 1 in March and if u pass stage 2 in April
Cheers taco just want to say you have been a big help cheers
How about if u are based at birmingham depot what are the shift patterns like?You will always start and finish at Bristol on the diagram but you may be required to travel to Birmingham or Plymouth to start your train work.
Their work is mainly to the two above but they also go to Cardiff via Gloucester & the Severn Tunnel and have diversionary route knowledge to Didcot (via Box & Chipping Sodbury), Kemble and Westbury.
The shifts start from around 03.45 to 17.00 and the latest finish is around midnight I believe with both a 5 day and 4 day Link rota option plus they have some 170 work in addition to 220/221s.
It's a friendly depot with good people to work with.
Hope this helps.
ps I missed out Paignton on the list - they are presently the only XC depot that goes there.
In the same boat. Not expecting to hear anything now. Better luck next time hopefully.Is Manchester depot all done and dusted now. Says application in process after completing RAAT tests going on nearly 3 months now
I wouldn’t lose hope. I was told at my DMI there is a big recruitment drive in 2025In the same boat. Not expecting to hear anything now. Better luck next time hopefully.
Congrats, I got the same call this morning for Cambridge.Hay all past my first interview (dmi I think?) For Cambridge depo, going down for an opc day just need the official email, what sort of tests will it be?
Would like to know about Birmingham shifts as well if anyone could help. I did ask at the interview and asked the guy dealing with applicants but neither could help.How about if u are based at birmingham depot what are the shift patterns like?
Hopefully I meet you there mate if I’ve passed stage 1Hi all, good luck for all sitting the OPC tests today. I passed stage one of the tests with another TOC in December before my XC interview, (which I was successful at) so I have been told I just have to attend stage two tests in April!
Hope to meet some of you soon.
…and they’ll take the top 2 from the league table, the rest may be offered something in 2025.Was told in my interview Cambridge want 2 drivers and the course is in July so some are for current positions
Strange they don't just take 2 out the talent pool now for the July course.…and they’ll take the top 2 from the league table, the rest may be offered something in 2025.
Yes, they called people for Bournemouth this week.Anyone else been invited for bournemouth DMI yet?
Do you know if they've called everyone they planned to call for Bournemouth? Or have they not finished yet?Yes, they called people for Bournemouth this week.
Well done. Same here - passed DMI and awaiting OPC.Hope the testing went well for those that went yesterday.
I’ve just been told I’ve passed my DMI, waiting for dates to go to OPC.
Now that I don’t know. I got a call and someone I know got it too, we both have interviews booked.Do you know if they've called everyone they planned to call for Bournemouth? Or have they not finished yet?
Yeah, I got my call over a week agoNow that I don’t know. I got a call and someone I know got it too, we both have interviews booked.
Oh, I see. My status changed back to "application in process" a few weeks ago rather than "assignment" and I also live exactly 59 minutes away from Bournemouth (when traffic is good) so I have a feeling I've been turned down based on distance.Now that I don’t know. I got a call and someone I know got it too, we both have interviews booked.
