Hi All

I'm due to start in August and would really appreciate any advice from the people on this thread that already work for Crossrail. Is there anything you would advise in the way of prep work before starting? Obviously I done a lot of research on the company for my DMI, but that was quite a while ago and a few things have changed I,e chairman/completion date.

Thanks!!!

I’m starting August aswell mate! An old work colleague who joined crossrail about 4 years ago told me not to worry about anything for the first day! The stuff for DMI was mainly to show you’re keen to get the job and not necessarily important for when we start.

Personally I plan on enjoying my last month before I have to start cramming a load of new information into my tiny brain

Not long now

can any please tell me how the fault code is generated from the diagram.

 

[Micahxx]

that is the answer, but cant understand how the fault code is been generated.

 

[crebbs1]

I believe there should be another page that tells you the priority of the faults and also the fault codes for each individual fault.

 

[TONE.84]

Pretty sure there is a fault finder guide page that explains all the fault codes!!!

View attachment 65160 that is the answer, but cant understand how the fault code is been generated.

I thought as much but it wasnt included.

Oh, if that’s not included, that would seriously mess with your head lol

It is indeed, hopefully it will be included on the assessment day.

 

[TONE.84]

Was it just sent as a pdf? I had this last year and it was the last page!

I thought as much but it wasnt included.

 

[Micahxx]

Yes it was sent as an attached file but i printed out. I have gone through all the 80 something pages and couldn't find it.

I'm sure there's an additional 4 pages to the DFFT

View attachment 65159 can any please tell me how the fault code is generated from the diagram.

It should defo be the last page of the booklet, but here it is anyways. If theres 2 or more faults then the one that is the highest priority is the answer....

I went through the original attached file and found it on page 21, my printer might have missed it.

Hi, does any body know if they have recruited for Plumstead depot recently ? Or withing the last 8months? Or when was the last recruitment for Plumstead depot?

I feel like I have been waiting for them to advertise and not sure if I have missed (I have often check the site vacancies, withing the last year) but I haven't seen anything yet, but there seems to be loads of posts and people talking about the position here.

How to hear you from somebody.

Thanks

No, you don't need to do any prep for the course just sit back and relax until your start date in August.

Good luck
