Originally I applied for depot driver in oct 17, but was timed out of the online test because I was away for a couple of weeks. Then around May 18 I saw the advert for Mainline and got on with it straight away. I heard very little till invite for assessment in September, then boom boom, passed...

Mainline. Really pleased!

Excellent, you will be a few weeks ahead of me

You need to be patient. I waited about 4-5 months and others longer, before I heard about assessments. Then it all snowballed very quickly.

My understanding is that you will be interviewed and depending on your performance you will be offered the Mainline. I know one lad this year who applied for depot driver and got offered Mainline

Yes, that's my understanding

There's four of us recently passed Mainline for GA, just the medical left for me with a start date 28 January 19. I know they were interviewing and deciding who was good enough for Mainline or depot driver. I think they are recruiting fairly heavily at the minute.
