Anyone heard back yet? I know it can take a while to sift through all the applications.

From what I can remember from mine. Hearing test, eyesight test, height, weight, blood pressure, Questions about your general health and drugs and alcohol test. I believe I found out I’d passed the medical a week or 2 after testing. Which depot will you be based at?

Found out I’d been successful 2 days after interview in July. Had medical 2 weeks ago and contract through door last week.

I work in a little independent shop. 3 months ago a colleague left and never got a reference despite multiple phone calls. Don’t want anyone going round in circles if I can help it.

Thanks for the replies. As I say I’m not too worried going in just the waiting for the date to come through has got my mind racing as to what’s involved.
