Just received an email to book interview date for dmi, booked for September 28th! Just happened to be doing some revision on Mtr whilst cycling on the bike at the gym when the email came through!

Great news! What depot are you applying for? And when did you do your personality test?

DMI , does it mean Drivers medical interview?
That means you cleared stage 2 and Manager interview too ?

Congratulations

So there is stage 1 assessment day
And stage 2 assessment
And DMI ? So when is structured interview?
Although I have read some people have it separately, the MMI (structured interview) is part of stage 2 assessments. Which means it can only be done twice if I’m not mistaken.

Usually goes stage 1 > stage 2 > DMI > medical > job.

So not assessment related! But I was just wondering if anyone knows much about the shifts on crossrail? Got my assessment coming up so just something I want to start considering if I’m lucky enough to get through.
Start and finish times? Days per week? Breaks that you are entitled to?
Does anyone know a driver and how they find the shifts?
Cheers

At least 2 rest days a week, next to each other. Over the course if the roster works out roughly 35 hour week. 8 weeks then basically 2 off

Guys/Girls. Just out of curiosity, what's the longest time you've had to wait for DMI following the completion of the pre interview questionnaire?

I waited around 2 weeks after completing the questionnaire to be contacted with a date for dmi

Hopefully we'll hear something soon. Just want to get it out the way, lol.

I passed assessment day part 2 on 4th sept and did the OTDPQ on 11th Sept. Still haven't heard anything about a DMI. The email did say upto 4 weeks

Hi all
I had my DMI few days ago, how long does it usually take for them to let you know how it went?

I thought I did okay, could go either way 50/50 I think.

Has anyone bought one of those 2hand coordination cds? If so do you think they really helped since the only work with keyboard?

I didn't purchase anything extra, just used the training book they provided. Printed out multiple copies at work and just kept practising these.
