Passed all of them! Good luck on Monday!How did your assessment day go? ...hopefully wellI have mine on Monday.
Great news, well done! And thank you, my fingers are firmly crossed. Did you hear on the day, and any idea when your MMI will be?
Thanks! Had to wait a week. The wait was not easy. I'm having a DMI first, then the MMI after (GTR do it the other way around it seems). Not sure when I'll have the DMI, it might be a while.
Which depot are you going for?
Barnham. Any insider information?
It seems Barnham have lots on courses already this yearBarnham. Any insider information?

Hey. I have my DMI this Wednesday at Go Ahead House. In preparation for it I contacted the depot manager at Barnham. He was super helpful and thought that if I were successful at DMI/MMI/medical it would probably be early 2025 for a course if this helps
When was your application date and your assessment date?
Thanks for letting me know, it does help. Hope your interview will go well!

I applied in June I think; had my assessment centre in December
Thankyou! Fingers crossed you don’t have to wait too long for a date for yours too!
Barnham have 8/9 on the 1st 3 courses planned this year
This is looking likely although there’s a consultation out for the west coastway which COULD reduce the train service and therefore affect diagramming
All done! An interesting day and much more relaxed than I’d expected it to be. Surprisingly, out of the four invited only two of us turned up. I should hopefully get the results by the end of the week.
Where do you go for the assessments? Which one did you find the hardest? Good luck, i'm sure you've smashed it!
now onto the DMI when a date becomes available at a depot near me.Lonerangert

Hey, I've recently been put in the talent pool for London bridge & Victoria being my two choices. Would you possibly know the demand for these depots?
Victoria have a few on courses, Bridge less so but that’s not uncommon. Selhurst would be your best bet to get in

Thanks for that info. I’m not within a hour distance from Selhurst so not sure if I could have put that down unfortunately.

Application completed Feb 2022. Dec 2020 application.
So 24 months for me.
Apologies, I am new to this forum. I recently failed the computer part of the GTR assessment day. I really struggled on the two hand co ordination, I think the nerves got the better of me. Do I need to wait until they are recruiting at my depot again or can I contact GTR after 6 months to retake this test?
Thanks in advance for any help
Thanks in advance for any help
