I’m currently travelling everyday from Weymouth to Basingstoke for training. Roughly 2 hours 15 minutes each way...

Wow that must be taking it out of you.
What training hours make up a typical week?
24k until rules, then it goes up to about 28k then when you have key 33k once productive full whack. this is plus London weighting depending on depot

I got the same email and haven't heard anything yet. I read it as they would let me know later whether I'd scored high enough.
deepblue82 - to be honest that’s how I read it also. It’s interesting how people interpret things. Thought it was best to post on here to get other opinions or see if anyone else had received the same reply.
Good luck to you!

You too!
Still waiting but a friend is training, average time I think is 12 to 15 months depends on depot.

If it helps, I phoned SWR HR recruitment and they told me that there wasn't a second online assessment and that they would look at and review all of the applications after the 15th. You'll then be invited to the assessment stage and if you'd already completed that then you'd inform them of that, at that point and they'd pull up the info on the national database. At which point it should hopefully be straight to DMI......

Morning all, anybody heard anything from SWR regarding their Yeovil application?
The Yeovil depot opened last Sunday. The depot needs/wants 18 drivers & 12 guards at the moment (this number may increase in time). But with all the current strikes nothing is being delt with this month. Expect January assessment for drivers & interviews for commercial guard roles.

Well done! I reckon late Feb/March. Nervous about the Interview, I failed a DMI with GWR last year.
Well done on getting to the interview stage. Will you relocate if you get offered the job ?.
I’m in the same position as you hopefully this year I’ll be successful. I would have to relocate if I was successful.

Hey, thanks! I have previously completed both my stage 1 and 2 assessments so received the email yesterday saying I was progressing onto interview stage. Hope this helps
Fantastic news for you.
What sort of time frame has that taken?
Hi there
Hope have you found the constant travelling? Hope it’s not been too strenuous.
