Medicals are normally about an hour.
You wouldn’t get uniform until you start training.

Thanks mate, it was ok. I was waiting for around 40mins on the platform as he was busy! Must be joke there somewhere about trains
Honestly it was ok. I had 2 guys doing the interview. Started with the whole this is just a casual chat. Asked questions like can I give an example of when I’ve had to concentrate for a long period of time. Why do I want to join FL and what can I tell them about FL….that sort of thing.
Good luck for tomorrow mate
Thank you

No height…..weight is all about BMI, but if you can walk a mile or 2 you should be fine.
Hopefully mines ok haha I can comfortably walk for long than that but my bmi is like 29/30

Hi everyone.
Had my DMI last Friday and got the email yesterday saying I had passed and they were allocating me a training course. Cannot believe it. Happy is an understatement and cannot wait to get started.
Good luck to those still waiting. If you get the email I got yesterday, all the effort is worth it.

Had mine in November took 10 days to come back from the lab. I only got my contract issued when the lab results returned.
Even a for cause test done at depot, goes off to the lab.
Congratulations mate. I’m training for Crewe now. I waited 10 months from interview to start but hopefully you won’t be that long.

I passed my medical today too.
Apparently the immediate drug screening results only started this morning with the company freightliner do the medicals with. So lucky for us I suppose

No not as yet. Got my medical ticked off yesterday so just waiting for email now.

Congrats mate, yeah was lucky but makes sense to do the drugs test that way if they can.
