I didn't ask the guy how he thought I got on and he said ( you explained scenarios well and got straight to the point which is what I like) with a smile on his face!! But as with all stages I will not get my hopes up and just hope for the best!!!

Well done, fingers crossed for you. I did my MMI with another company took about 3 days to get my results. My other results with Arriva came quickly, couldn’t fault them but I think it very much depends on how close they too a training date! Bit of a lottery really. The Arriva HR are great very helpful.
Cheers Steve how did you find the dmi?
Ask away
Dmi was abit more relaxed I thought, scenario competency based again, my advice don’t dig yourself a hole and be honest with your reply’s. There was one question I couldn’t think of an answer and I asked if we could revisit it to buy more time,which they where more than happy with. I had 2 nice people interviewing me, made to feel welcome.
Lottery numbers please

I've known people to get a call the same day, others the next day.
Maximum should be 3 days though.
I know its a different toc, but govia told me eight days after.
Hi guys I got a call today to say I have passed my mmi!!!! Now I have my dmi next Tuesday so keeping fingers crossed. Does anyone know how long it takes to find out if you have passed dmi? Then how long until medical is carried out? Where is the medical? And how long before you get results of medical sorry for all the questions but I am getting closer now so a little impatient
Well done,
Arriva are usually pretty quick and get back to most people within a few days, maybe a week max.
My medical was near Great Portland Street but they have various locations around London.
They’ll want to get you booked into a medical ASAP so it just depends on your availability an availability of appointments. Mine was about ten days after I got the call to say I’d been successful.
They should tell you you’ve passed, or not, the medical on the day apart from the urine sample results which takes about 3/4 days.

Well done mate
My medical was old Holborn, near Hatton gardens.
SecureId has got it spot on with the info on timings.
Good luck with the dmi, research the forum (dmi questions) for possible questions that you may get asked? Oh and research the company they will ask you about it MD etc.

Stage 2 assessments done!
Just at the train station on the way home now! I was the only one (out of 4 of us) that actually had to sit all the assessments this morning, the other guys had passed bits and pieces during other processes. Manage to get all the way to the MMI (which is the only bit they don’t provide results for right away) - so now it’s just a waiting game to find out how I did....fingers crossed!

I was the only person that had to do all the tests.
We all had to do a bespoke VSE that Arriva chuck in as extra and there was one other lad that had to sit the MMI aswell (as he dipped it previously)
The other two lads had passed it in another process so they were not required to sit it again.

Still waiting here also - had absolutely zero correspondence since applying so you aren’t alone.
