Hey everyone,

Does anyone know where exactly the depot for Hornsey is?

Have my medical for GTR on 31st and have been informed by Trudy that the next course begins on 6th March.

Nice one mate. The Inner Link at Hornsey had a few drivers move out of it, so perhaps that is why you’ve received a start date so soon.

Unfortunately you will have to wait when next advertise for trainee driver and go through the whole process again.

I passed mmi and dmi in December 2016 and was put into talent pool with Thameslink. I contacted for updates every couple months for 4 years and was told waiting for course dates. I never had any luck

Wow !! So nothing is guaranteed.

Thank you

Unfortunately not.

I can’t wait (hopefully) for that call. It must be the best feeling ever

 

[choochoochoo]

Inner link?

Thank you

The worst link at GN in terms of workload.

One traction (717) and usually all stops between Stevenage/Welwyn Garden City and Moorgate.

No wonder they get a lot of drivers leaving for other depots.

But congrats. It’s a foot in the door and a way to get your key.

 

[Luckyflames]

Unfortunately not.

Any idea how they decide sloth. I’ve been in the pool coming up 12 months now.

No idea. Most of the trainees that I have for routes tell me itraining courses are split half and half male/female internal/external.

Oh absolutely. And I hope for you it does!

Ahhhh I see.

Thank you very much for clarifying that and I look forward to getting that key!

Is anyone waiting on DMI results for Southern? I had mine yesterday and I really can't judge if I did well. It was a lovely laid back interview and now thinking back, I can't decide if that was a good or bad thing Oh well, let's see what the next few days bring.

 

[Charchar]

I done mine in December and yes it was a pretty relaxed interview, I was notified the following day that I passed it. Don’t over think it too much, well done for getting this far and I’m sure you will be hearing the good news soon.
