How did people find the stage 2 if they have taken it today?

So 9am start with short into talk then you do the 3 computerised tests
30min grey square
12 min street image (tick if x y z are present in the image)
6 mins (10 times the image) of the 2hand coordination
You get to practice each for a bit before you do the test. overall tests were ok as with stage 1 speed and accuracy
This is done in a row. Then you do the personality questionnaire (whatever it's called) untimed thought should take 25 mins unless someone takes one hour (teehee) then you answer the 6 questions which will form the base of the mmi.
Told if you passed or not. If you did you are told your time for the mmi. Mmi takes about an hour to 1:15. After that you are free to go. Hear back between 5-10 working days though sooner is likely.
Hope that answers your questions, shorter day than the stage one though you don't get to know if you pass the mmi for a while

Thought I did fairly badly on the 2hand coordination test due to it jumping out of bounds a lot. But the other 2 I felt like I aced them. In the end passed all 3. Other people didn't feel confident on other parts of the test but also passed so guess they feel harder than they are.

looks like they are telling people the day after the assessment, just passed stage 2 now the wait for the final interview hope it isnt too long. GL everyone else

found it fairly hard, hardest part by far imo thought i just related everything back to what i think the role/skills needed by the train driver eg safety and stuff like that which must of been what they were looking for i guess. lots of how do you feel about this, which was the hardest part and lots of repetitive questions.

there's plenty of car parks, if you do well and stay all day it works out £15, you'll pay less if you go home early

Good luck to all you guys. Hope you hear back soon.
For those who passed the second stage - it took 5 weeks for me to get a date for the DM interview, so be patient - it will happen. I had my stage 2 assessment on March 26th and the DM interview wasn't until April 27th! After I passed the DM interview, the medical was May 12th and start date isn't until June 1st.
Long old process but well worth it.

I'm awaiting a DM interview after passing stage 2 and my MMI on the 12th May. Compared to the Police which took me 9 months all in all it's going very quickly, but as stated I now have a potentially long wait ahead for the DM interview. The only issue for me is giving notice for my current job, ideally I would need 3 months notice to take a career break rather than leaving which requires 1 months notice.
Good luck to us all though, the job is getting closer to becoming a reality!
