Great news and finger crossed for you. When will you hear back?

The thing you have to remember with the railway is that it moves at it's own pace. Some drivers had to wait years before they have interviews after taking the psychometric tests. SE seem to be quite efficient but they don't recruit that often especially externally. Just keep giving them a shout...
