Not yet, no.Have they given you a new medical date yet?
I'll second that - driving has always been my long-term goal but if I'd stayed with conducting I'd've been content. It's an excellent job.Nice one, congrats. I bet you can't wait to get started.
It's great being a guard, you'll love it.
Meant to say well done!!Well I'm in - starting on the 27th of November.

That's the same day I'm starting my driving course so I imagine there is going to be a corporate induction for us all.
A mate of mine is going to be on the conductor course with you as well.
How long did it take between filling out the Form D - Life Changing Events Declaration and getting your offer?I’ve just received a provisional offer for a Feb driver course pending my medical so looks like things are moving

good to see some more movement. What role and depot you in the pool for?I'm waiting to hear back from the medical as well. To those who have heard, do they send you a final offer after your medical pass ? or do they just inform you of passing the medical, and wait untill they have got references etc? Waiting to inform work I'm leaving but obviously want the contract signed first.
