    After some help for a friend. He’s been invited to an assessment day for southern rail. He hasn’t been told what test he’ll be doing. Or given any practice materials. Anyone have an idea of what he might be doing?

    Not sure when your dmi is but I found this book very helpful. Think it’s about £10 on Amazon

    Hi All I'm due to start in August and would really appreciate any advice from the people on this thread that already work for Crossrail. Is there anything you would advise in the way of prep work before starting? Obviously I done a lot of research on the company for my DMI, but that was quite...

    Hello mate I'm 1 of the August 5th intake. Firstly I hope your training is going really well. Secondly I would really appreciate it if you could let us know what to expect on the first couple of weeks. Lastly I think there are a few others on this thread who have the same start date as me...

    If you have a cabin sized case on wheels it might be an idea to take it rather than lugging around a box full of uniform!

    Can anyone tell me if you get the results for the medical immediately? Or do you have to wait for samples to be sent away?

    I got a call yesterday (01/05/2019) regarding booking the medical. I also received an email to complete for background checks so hopefully you'll get the call very soon (if you haven't already). See you in August!!!

    Out of curiosity what’s the gap between medical/documents and your start date? Hoping it’s more than 4 weeks as generally this is the notice period for current job.

    Got the call on the 12th March. Was so excited about getting a position I blocked out most of what else I was being told! I’ve seen in another post they check weight and BMI as part of the medical. Think I’d better hit the gym before it comes around!

    Hi all Got a start date for 5th August so looking forward to meeting you guys on here with the same start date! My original application was for Gidea Park depot but was more than happy to accept Abbey Wood when I got the call. Out of interest can anyone tell me what the medical involves?

    I’ve also had the holding pool in the east email. I replied asking to know my position on the waiting list? Still waiting on a reply but from reading this thread I suppose it could change if they’re still interviewing and newer candidates score higher. Seems strange they’re still interviewing...
