    I've been invited for an Assessment day on April 26th. Fingers crossed for me guys please! No mention of the dreaded mechanical test though on the letter - is that correct for those of you that have experienced this? How many prospective lady drivers out there?

    Holding pot?

    Hi kebo, well done and congratulations! I hope you manage to secure a position in the very near future. Could I ask which depot you applied for? It's quite worrying if they say they have filled all their positions as I'm still waiting for an assessment date!
