Heard thru the grapevine today there's a course starting Nov 29th in Westbury for a mixture of depots.

Yes. November 2018 I was successful for a FOC, and awaiting my medical date. They subsequently lost the contract that was the bulk of the depots work... "we'll put you in a pool". Nigh on 3 years later I am driving for the firm that won the contract, same depot. Keep on trying

Any idea what's after comparing digits? Worried about doing any OPC assessments after passing them all, already. Thanks a lot for any help

Hi Atishyou, Not wanting to take this off topic too much but I am interested to hear more about the pension situation. Have DB closed the final salary pension to new starters or has nothing been decided yet? What is the new pension that is being offered? As I said, don't want to take this too...

Not that I doubt you, train_lover. But just to add something else to the mix, I had my interview for WSB in December and recieved a call from HR saying I had passed, but that vacancies had been put on hold until they had more work (this news coming the same day as FL announced Mendip contract...

For Westbury? Good luck, let us know how you get on.

People have for Jnr Driver but I dont think so for Trainee Dvr (going by this thread).

Nice one. I did mine last at the beginning of last week and had the email yesterday afternoon.

Anyone who passed Stage 2 last week had the talent pool email? A waiting game for now I suppose. :D

Passed my stage 2 and MMI today. Lady doing the MMI told me they're assessing up until February (although that was Jnr and Trainee I am lead to believe). All very friendly and relaxed but I'm not in a rush to ever repeat the tests!
