    That kind of attitude is a little different to someone asking for help and getting a ‘you’re dumb’ kind of response when the person asking is inexperienced in the industry. Plus over text u can’t gauge the persons tone so things get misread and misunderstood. I used to be a bus driver and I’m...

    It was more the way you put it than what you said tbh. Misunderstanding.

    This response would have been much more appreciated than the one u originally gave. I’ve not seen on here that I shouldn’t look for outside info. Tbh I only read threads relevant to the stage I’ve been at or ones that I feel I can contribute to. Haven’t seen anything about pts on here which is...

    This is my first week so I apologise if I haven’t used the correct terminology...they gave us the rule book broken up in a series of booklets so I referred to them as booklets :rolleyes: I’ve never done PTS so I wouldn’t know that it isn’t hard or is very basic, like I said it’s my first week...

    Arriva london trainee driver

    About 9 months training. Had my first induction day yesterday at overground house. Not sure where we’ll be for the whole of training but the first week is spent there. They spoke about the simulators being at Willesden and the spreadsheet they gave us mentions depot experience so I assume...

    For those who failed the medical

    I wear glasses and my new prescription wasn’t ready when I went for medical so had to attend without them and was told I could go back for the eye test. Turns out I can see well enough without my glasses to not officially need them to drive so I passed!! Defo still go, as others have said, u...

    Any ex bus drivers that passed the MMI???

    With the SJT you need to make sure your focus is on safety, so if the 4 answers make sure you pick the one that would be safest 1st, there are some that try to trick you. Like I remember there was 1 that said about being off sick, company policy was that you take up to 2 months for your injury...

    Very welcome, just keep in mind those questions I posted are a mix of what you will be asked at MMI and DMI.
