    Congratulations. I’m in a similar position as I applied in December 2018, I had my medical on the 18th November and have a contact & start date of end of January 2022. Passing my MMI to medical was about a weeks wait. Then a couple of weeks for the paperwork and start date, I wasn’t really...

    Thank you, it’s been a long road. In my second DMI interview they said the test results validity was being extended from 3 years to 5 years so that may get taken into account. Good for thought.

    Well after attending my first assessment back in February 2019 I have just had an email to say I’ve passed my computer tests and mmi interview on Thursday last week. Medical on the 18th November. Happy days.

    Hi all. Interesting reading, the comments by Driver1122 are reassuring, always good to hear from someone in the know. Personally I’m still waiting on my 3rd assessment, my DMI was July 2019, got told I’d passed but was in the pool for 6 months then that got extended then covid hit and it’s all...

    Hi folks. I got the talent pool email today too. My DMI was end of June. Some people are saying they’re disappointed but my guess is this talent pool is how they keep tabs with everyone at various stages of the process. Bottom line is we’ve passed the DMI and still in the mix. Onto the next one

    Quite right mark, I’m in no mad rush. I work in the railway anyway. Nothing with regards to admin moves quickly. Glacial at best.

    I applied for the position which ended on the 27th December. Had my tests in Feb but couldn’t make my first DMI appointment due to work. Had my DMI last Friday. Long process so far but I’ve heard of people taking much longer.

    Sorry to hear that Jord as Fraz says it’s always difficult to judge these things. I’m in the same boat with respect to waiting till the end of July. So it’s not a “no thanks” just yet. Strange one.

    That’s good to know Jord, we’re either both right or both wrong haha. What time were you today? 10am?

    Just home after my DMI today. Think it went ok, I felt as if I could’ve been a bit better as in more polished in my answers but I’ll put that down to nerves and I’m pretty hard on myself anyway. Obviously it’s up to the people on the other side of the table so we shall see. Best advice I can...

    Good afternoon all. I’ve got my DMI next Friday, the email says Monteith house, George square but that’s it. There’s no postcode and I’ve not been able to find it on google maps? Am I missing the obvious here? Secondly, has anyone in here arranged a station visit for Perth? Is it easy to set...

    Hi Kendo, I have my DMI next week and I was hoping if you could give me an account of your experience and how it was for you? Thanks.
