Although not for Exeter, I was only in the pool a couple of months, Fratton (the depot I’ll be based at) is only small, so to to be honest it’s anyone’s guess as to how long you’ll be in the pool, but it might be sooner than you think.
Thanks mate, and a journey it’s been too lol. It feels like it’s been ongoing for longer than 9-months (which was when I first put my application in for Freightliner back in July last year).
My invite email said to turn up smartly dressed. I wore a shirt, trousers and shoes. I wore I tie but took that off soon after I arrived anyway. You need to be comfortable, and will be removing your shirt a couple of times (oooo err) for the ECG and Doc to examine you (that’s what it was like for mine at least). As a rule, unless the email said turn up casually dressed specifically, I’d have worn what I wore anyway.
I went smartly dressed as asked in the email that I received.
It says it in one of the attachments they send you (sorry I wasn’t clear).
I had mine on Thursday (18th).
I’m SWR too and received several attachments including a letter which detailed what to wear etc. I assume you were only sent the questionnaires to fill out and there wasn’t an attached letter?
Oh, this is where the confusion lies. I’m SWR soon to be GWR. So you’re going to be based at Wimbledon depot? Being Wimbledon, you have applied for SWR so you won’t get the same attachments as us who are attending or have attended GWR medicals anyway.
Where was your medical?
Swindon?
Was the same for me, we probably passed each other at some point
Yeah we probably did.Was the same for me, we probably passed each other at some point
Yes. I was told they should have the D&A back by Tuesday (usually a 24-hour turnaround for the to getvthe results but what with the Easter weekend...) so hopefully Hera by Thursday.
@Stigy have you heard anything about your results yet?
No, was going to ask you the same thing haha. I’m sure they’re just busy but I do hate the wait (doesn’t help my overthinking). I assume you haven’t heard anything?
Yeah I’ve not heard anything yet! I’m going to call them today to get an update.
That’s my understanding too. I’ve re-read the conditional offer and it states that once all the conditions have been met , I’ll be written to with a formal offer (I assumed email, but I’m thinking it may actually come through the post if things need signing?).
I was thinking of doing this, but was going to give it till Monday. Let us know how you get on
Haha, ‘willy waving’....that made me laugh, and I don’t generally laugh in the mornings pre-tea
