Thanks guys and yes congratulations to everyone who has passed and also going through the process!

I applied for Ilford depot

Hey any guidance on what questions they will ask at he DMI or MMI would be greatly appreciated. I have my Stage 2 Monday. Congrats on getting through

They will ask 3 competency based questions, these will be similar to ones asked in your mmi which could be about a similar job as a train driver, concentration, following rules etc
In all honesty none of the questions threw me off and I was pretty confident when I came out I had done enough (or at least the best I could have done).

Thanks so much for the reply. I have my MMI on Monday and feel really nervous. How many questions do they ask in the MMI and will they ask why do u want to be a train driver or ask what y know about Crossrail in the MMI??

Do you mean DMI? The MMI is done at the same day as the computer assessments.

If I'm not wrong, Iceberg1 applied for Ilford depot too.

Good luck on your interview.

Not entirely sure, I would’ve thought they would just doit as a big group personally but that’s just me guessing.

I had to wait around 4 weeks from stage 2 to DMI. Just have to be patient (hard I know).

Just under 4 weeks to hear anything, was then sent an email with a selection of dates to choose from. Which ranged from when I done it last week to the end of November.

Joliver - how much detail to they want on ur knowledge of Crossrail and do they ask about MTR cooperation too? Also does the DM just ask 3 competency questions?

Having good knowledge of both will not be a bad thing etc. Can't really say much more mate, otherwise it's unfair on candidates who have recently sat an interview.
