I had my interview last week and got the email today that I'd been accepted. Just want to give hope and encouragement to others looking to get into the railway. I am a Young man (23) with no railway or safety critical experience, just a customer service background, understanding of the role and the willingness to learn and work hard. I actually worked as a team leader for Tesco when I made my application so I am the definition of someone from the street.. it hasn't come easy, earlier this year I had an interview with another toc, passed all the psychometric tests and mmi but failed the dmi which was heart breaking to be honest but I didn't give up and if I can do it then anybody can as long as you apply yourself and show the right ATTITUDE. I really want to thank you guys on the forum for all of your advice and guidance. It is great that there is a platform such as this and I recommend any one who is looking to get in to the railway to really use this forum as there is so much help on here. All the best guys
