Yes there are night shiftsOh I meant over night
They offered me June first of all, but I called up told them that I was meant to be offered August.
I was told not to accept the June offer, so I’m guessing if you’ve accepted the June date that when you’ll start. Call them if you can’t before spaces are filled!
I was offered August straight away so that what my email offer stated mate! Like @AMtrain101 said, maybe call and enquire what date you’re down for and change if you would prefer August! What depot did you apply for out of curiosity?

Might be April fools prank

You are correct, dont worry about the glasses you are asked to bring them to the medical. Worry about the medical after the DMI no point worrying yet just concentrate on the interview is my adviseHi all, first time posting here. Applied for Gidea Park / Ilford, waiting for my DMI date currently . From what I’ve read in previous threads people are offered start dates and given contracts before a medical is done , is this correct ? The medical is the part I’m worried about because I wear glasses, does anyone know of anyone that has failed a medical ?
I was offered the job Jan 15th i think it took til march to get my ref, background checks etc done. I think it was 5 weeks to medical. I think it depends how close your start date is.How long do you normally wait to give references, book a date for medical and be told to take your id etc after accepting a start date?

Hi simon22,
Congratulations on getting through, I have successfully made it through and will be starting on 1st April, I’m for Old Oak Common.
Thanks.You are correct, dont worry about the glasses you are asked to bring them to the medical. Worry about the medical after the DMI no point worrying yet just concentrate on the interview is my advise
Brilliant news mate, ur the 1st person to say ur starting same day as me i was getting worried for a minute lol. Well done on getting through.
How you feeling, as it gets closer im getting abit nervous but i think its because ive worked in the same role for 15yrs and its all new to me.
Look forward to meeting you on the 1st.
It's pending medical, Alcohol/drugs test and references. Good luck with the rest of your application.Thanks.
I still don’t understand why they would offer you the contract and start date before the medical

Well after about a month i emailed them to ask when i would start hearing about medicals etc. They replied saying they would be in touch the week after. I then had an email to do background checks and references. A few weeks went by then some1 from head office called to pick a date and time for medical. Then i received an email to arrange uniform so i did this on the same day i did the medical and produced all my documents at the same time. I had to call to do it all the same day otherwise it was costing £40 travel each tripDid they email you for the medical with a date or did you get to choose? And is the main contact for the rest via email or call? I got offered a start date for August and have accepted.

If you havent heard by start of June give them a ring.Ok thanks fot the info ill just wait then I have a few months now to start!
Personal question I know but wondering if someone who is already training could answer? How much are you clearing each month salary wise? I’m starting in August and just want to start making plans etc as I’ll be taking a pay cut while training and worries me slightly!
Thanks in advance.
After, and as Anders99 says, it's for a maximum of a year. Money goes up regardless if you've completed training or not.Can I ask is that before or after pension contributions?
