I asked DRS fairly recently about the progress of the application without receiving a reply. Hope you have some progress soon.
Good luck with it mate and good to hear of some movement. When did they tell you?
I (reluctantly) withdrew my application after speaking to the OPC. I was invited to do some online assessments last week and told them I'm in a talent pool for another TOC. When I asked if my assessment passes would be taken into account with DRS, I was told they wouldn't and that my DRS scores would (could) impact my other application. Really gutted as I liked the DRS role but , to me, it was a risk I couldn't afford to take. 
Good luck to all those cracking on.

Not yet, passed paper tests and 2 computer tests back in February so ideally would only need to do WAFV and an MMI but oldnewbie’s post suggests they disregard previous scoring so not sure what I’d do if I got called for assessments
Not entirely sure myself but Willesden was mentioned earlier in this thread
Yes, I'm just gonna ignore it as its probably a mistake? But a bit weird none the less.
I did, vacancy has been reposted so assuming they mean we need to reapply but the email makes it as clear as mud-I just checked the website on the off chance. If you click the OPC link on the ad it’s supposed to give you an access code via email but doesn’t seem to work for me and I get an error every time. The words ‘p**s up’ and ‘brewery’ come to mind with DRS!!
Yeah I did-I’ve had exactly the same as you by the sounds of it
Got the same email. DRS had a vacancy up for trainee train driver with a july22 ref for London & rugby telling applicants to apply through the OPC extranet link given using the code within the advert.
I replied back to the email from HR about my application from Jan but no response.
Checked the vacancy section of DRS again and the advert had been removed so unsure what’s gone on there
If anyone has an update from HR about this pls do share

Does that mean they’ve cancelled your stage 1 paper assessments you said were later this month?
Doesn’t seem like it. I haven’t heard back from drs HR and OPC haven’t notified me of anything ..the tests are on Monday
just heard back from the NTS team and they confirmed my application is ongoing as per correspondence with the OPC. Not sure what the email yesterday was about though

Yes, it's been down for several days now. Seem to have two emails for recruitment if useful.

They've responded when I've emailed before using [email protected]
Thanks
Hi managed to find the new recruitment site
Direct Rail Services Ltd
www.cloudonlinerecruitment.co.uk
So do you complete the OPC one first then the application at the bottom of the screen? Also I’ve already passed all the tests 6 months ago.
Ignore this, its the same top and bottom.

Oh.. I was there on Tuesday. Guess they had people on different days as they don't have a lot of desks that could hold as many people as stage 1.
Congratulations! Once you hear back for DMI let me know. I'm also waiting.
