So as I read it, 1st attempt failed, then had a day in the sims covering the parts that wasn’t passed. 2nd attempt failed, by not showing the assessor that he wasn’t competent in correcting the parts he had previously failed on. Is there any chance of posting which area’s not passed? As it...

Two posts running on the same question?

Don’t bother contacting them, if you make it through the sift or not they will contact you in due course, they are a nice bunch in HR and will be snowed under with applications. Patients is key with the railways, so just go about your day to day running of life, they will contact you.

I’ll wait till Monday as they’ll have a better idea of arrangements. Many thanks

Is that definitely going ahead? Start my trainee train driving at Basingstoke next week. May have to take the car.

Had a mate start there as a trainee train driver last year, so must be positions available.

Staines. Where have you applied?

Patients is definitely the key, things do not move quickly with the TOC,s, I applied last year and nearly a year later will start my training next Month. All you can do is take it one stage at a time and not get ahead of yourself.

With you on this one Val3ntine, HR where fantastic through the whole process, made you feel relaxed at each stage you had to pass, also kept you informed and good communication through out.

Nail on the head SPADTrap.

Hi Val3ntine I was originally down for Woking, they then asked if I would change to Staines as they need more drivers there. Personally it's much better for me as I live less than 10 minutes from there. What depot are you down for? I may yet end up on the November course, can't see me having...

Passed the MMI, now have the medical next week which shouldn't pose a problem, with the possibility of being on the October course. Are all the courses held at Basingstoke? Also is it a mix of different depots attending or do they all come from the same depot you was given?

Cheers Dan, much appreciated.

Is the MMI conducted by one or two interviewers and is it OPC or someone from SWR?

Hi Dan Thanks for the reply, thought the MMI would be a bit more intense than the DMI, thinking up a couple of answers to each questions. Working in a safety critical position already I have quite a lot experience to fall back on, just don't want to fall at this stage being so close. Well...

Having passed my DMI, I have been invited to attend an MMI. Was looking for some answers on how SWT go about conducting the day, i.e. SJT, answering 6 questions based on questions asked earlier that form the interview. How long does the interview last? And what sort of questions are asked? Don't...

Cheers TEW, much appreciated.
