I'd also like to know if any are going to come up for either Gidea or Shenfield. Been 10 months since I passed everything. Still waiting in talent pool.

I started last month mate and doesn’t sound like anything for the east will be coming up anytime soon! Quite a few trainees at the minute who all applied for Ilford or Gidea Park and have all been given Abbeywood. Where are you based? Would you accept Abbeywood? Have you ever contacted them and said you would be willing to do so!

I live in Chelmsford so Gidea and Shenfield are the only realistic options for me unfortunately!

Has anyone who has completed stage 1 assessment day heard if successful for stage 2?

Congratulations mate!
The gaps between round starts getting a bit longer now! After my assessment day it was 7 weeks till the next round (MMI) and then after that you wait about another 6-7 weeks to hear about booking in the final DMI. So you might be looking at next year for a start.

Patience is key with Crossrail to all the new people applying. I applied last July and start on August 5th so over a year for me.

Hi All

I’m currently waiting for training dates and my medical for old oak common. I passed my DMI back in April and was told training dates would be released end of June. However when I called the other day they said hopefully they will have dates in January 2020 but they don’t know what depot it’ll be for and to keep checking up with them. Anyone in the same boat or in the know when new training dates will be released?

Hello All

I'm not sure if this question has been asked already but for those of you that work in Crossrail does anyone know if they would do another external trainee train driver recruitment this year or will I need to wait until next year?

Hi everyone,

I passed my MMI a few weeks ago and have completed my OTDPQ. Does anyone know what the wait is for DMI?

I'm aware they're very busy with recruitment but I'm a little worried as I'm off on holiday soon and don't want the DMI to coincide with said holiday. Do they give you an option for dates or are you just given one and asked to attend on that day?

Any updates on this?? Have you heard back?

Hello all, I passed stage 2 including the MMI this week, I was told I would receive an email from mtr asking to complete a personality questionnaire in preparation for the DMI. Out of interest how long was the wait for the email in everyone’s experience?

Thank you and thanks for the quick reply! Ah right I’m in for a bit of a wait then!

Have you done your dmi now if so how was it, I found the mmi assessor was really easy to talk to about me at ease, is it a similar environment at the DMI?

Yes I’ve had my DMI, it was pretty straightforward as long as you’ve done you're research you’ll be fine. I found the DMI more relaxed than the MMI but that’s my opinion and experiences from both. Good luck.
