Yep 2nd January. Although they did call me a couple of weeks ago asking if I wanted to start even earlier. Got my first baby due at end of November though so had be sensible and turn it down. Apparently medicals will start in October.

How long did you wait after having the dmi the1?

 

[cseasy1984]

Thanks Cseasy, when is your provisional start date? mines is in March.

They gave me a start date of 5th Feb 2018 but then got a call asking if I could start 2nd October this year so I jumped at the chance. I've done the medical and now they are processing my references so hopefully will get a contract through soon.

Hi Shahid, I had my DMI on the 23rd June and waited till the 10th of July before contacting them by email, then recieved a phone call later that day to say I was successful. Are you still waiting mate?

First time post, but this forum has been of great help over the past few months, and over the moon to have been offered a start date of 5th March!
DMI was two weeks ago on the 28th, and had a voicemail left on Monday, resulting in a call back to them yesterday morning, and the job offer. Contract received this morning.

Best of luck to those still waiting, and looking forward to meeting those starting next year...

 

[NickR]

Received my contract as well today - wasn't expecting it for another few months so that was a great surprise. Had a big grin on my face when I saw what it was. So excited now!

Hi Pjsadi, Well done for making it. To all those that received their contracts yesterday, what a great feeling isn't it. As long as we pass the last three which is medical, satisfactory references and DBS then we would have made it, After that we have the next phase to complete which is working hard to pass all our exams, well done to all that has passed all the stages and good luck to all those still on this wonderful journey. I hope to see you next year.

 

[shahid_altaf]

Hi Shahid, so sorry to hear that mate, don't give up though mate you're nearly there, just need to get the feedback and work on what was needed to make a stronger case for next time. keep your chin up mate, you'll get it at your next attempt.

 

[Sotac464]

Didn't make it either guy's, absolutely distraught.
Everybody who did make it, I wish you the very best of luck, and hope you have a fantastic career with Mtr Crossrail.

I said it in my interview that it's Crossrail or nothing for me, I'm not interested in other tocs.

Hopefully they will advertise again next year, and then I will nail it.

All the best.

Good Morning PJSADI, have they contacted you for your medical yet? I understand in some cases they will contact you 3-5 months before your start date to arrange date for medical.
