Would you be comfortable sharing what the SOLs were, just asking out of curiosity?

Does anyone know the name of the company you contact directly for more specific feedback from your performance during the selection process?

Former regs. Just keeping options open. Always worth having an escape plan.

No contracts are being issued yet as WM Trains and ASLEF are in discussions regarding amendments to the pension scheme, specifically regarding retirement age.

Thanks for the responses. WMT

As per the title of the thread, can anybody give any clarity on whether or not TOC policies permit reservist duties whilst working as a train driver? Cheers.

Correct. That was the information I was given also as I looked to transfer 11 years Fire Service Pension across. Non-transferrable.

Sell yourself would be me my main advice! The DMI can differ in the way it is structured depending on the TOC. You only need yo look on this forum and you can see that some have experienced quite informal discussions where as others have been quite rigid, and in depth with lots of questions...

Practise, practise and then practise some more. I was advised to work through and to do anything BUT count the dots. Practise sheet after sheet so you become familiar with the formations, so essentially you start crossing off 'shapes' as opposed to 4 dots. Go for accuracy over haste. Hope this helps
