I wore chinos, and a jumper, didn’t even bother with a shirt or smart shoes. Passed, so obviously wasn’t an issue

I wore jeans and tshirt when I did mine. I honestly don't think it matters at that stage of the game.
I sat 1st stage on 14th April and found out results on 23rd April. Monday was a bank holiday so maybe a little slower this time around? I had my DMI last Wednesday but not heard back as of yet. Good luck for results!
Cheers, I thought, smart jeans / chinos would be fine. As long as I don't tun up in a Borat thong I will be fine

Yes, I also have a start date for the end of July
Was told after a few emails that there’s no positions at my depot just now so placed in a pool until one becomes available. No medical until then unfortunately
Hey. Which depot is this please? I’m still waiting on a medical. Cheers
Dumfries Depot. You?
Edinburgh. Cheers and good luck!!!
I start 2nd of June & still no contract. Have chased a few times but no response

Same with me, 2nd June start (well 29th for the induction). No contract yet. I do know someone starting on Thursdays induction who only got their contract 10 days ago, so hopefully we will get ours at the end of the week.

I handed my notice in and havent got a contract, from the looks of things on they always send it out last minute.

Anyone been allocated to yoker recently on this thread? My depot was meant to be Glasgow central but got an email Tuesday last week saying it’s changed to yoker.
Just curious to see if anyone has started recently/ or waiting to start in yoker.
Feel free to DM me if you prefer.

Hey all, I just heard back that I passed my DMI and am now moving on to the 2nd set of assessments and MMI interview.
I managed to get the tests off of a legend in here and I've been practicing them. Finding the ball and track and concentration test easy enough but the photo memory oones a bit hit or miss so I'm spending more time on that.
Any advice on MMI interview from anyone who has been recently would be really appreciate. The advice I got for DMI on here was brilliant and really helped

Thank you.
Seems like it's how scotrail does it and I should be good.
Thank you

Hi all
Got my DMI next week, and wondering if anyone has any hints or tips for it? The email given only mentioned a series of competency and situation based questions
Cheers in advance

I've had a couple of emails, then it gone all quiet. My pal works with them and says it's just a waiting game but who knows ♂️

Afternoon guys.
This one will sound silly, but I can't get it out my head so thought I'd ask. I've got my medical next week and have a provisional start date. Part of the medical requests that I bring my glasses prescription with me.
Now, the paranoid part of my brain is now thinking, will wearing glasses go against me? Thinking about the drivers at my local depot, I've never seen any wearing glasses. I'm long sighted, slightly.
Would this jeopardize my place?

You’ll be fine. I have glasses and pasted the medical without my glasses even though I need them 24-7.
No issues at all
Sent you a private message.

Nope it won't go against you at all, in fact if you DONT bring your glasses and subsequently fail the vision element of the medical, then that's worse than bringing them with you and passing the vision test. I passed the vision test for mine but my right eyes vision was worse than my left eye and I was advised to get glasses anyway. Wearing glasses absolutely will not count against you though, don't worry about that.
