Applied Feb 15 passed medical, been praying for a call ever since.
Congrats!!
Have you been told that?
Presume due to you being an internal your being pushed ahead of those that have already have had there medical?
Good luck with it all.
Thanks, you too, hopefully the wait won't be too much longer for everyone on here
It can't be too long if your an internal and they have sent you for a medical for the Bedford position there has to be a course any day now
I'm not sure I need to be told... Signed my contract for it and waiting to go!
Are you for for KX I do remember a course for the 21st thinking about it. Glad to hear and good luck
I had a phone call on the 15th of Feb offering me a position on the course starting on March 21st for KX too. I didn't post anything on here at the time as I was yet to take my medical, and at 48 , never having an ecg before I didn't want to tempt fate. My medical was last Friday at head office in Croydon. I received the results (pass) on Monday and my contact arrived yesterday. I was told 'probably' May, not much more than a month ago, so to be offered the 21/03 came completely out of the blue. I can only assume that my living in north London had some influence on that.
Congratulations - I had a 55 year old in my class last year and he was great on road knowledge. The only downside for him was annual medicals.
Congratulations for the start date mate, I know we have spoken before and we had our DMI the same week as each other back in late July and were both waiting for Kings X.
Unfortunately I haven't heard anything yet, still waiting a Medical/Start Date phone call, could well be that you live in North London that you've been given a date like you've mentioned, as I'm further out in Essex.
Thanks for the 'congrats' 
Hi Scattle. Yeah, I remember us discussing about both wanting KX. While I'm thrilled and relieved to be starting a course, I'm still well aware that there are guys who are still patiently waiting and some who actually had a start date for KX, only to have that subsequently rescinded . I'm also sensitive to the fact that I've only just had my medical when others had their medical 6/7 months ago and still wait for a London course. The feedback that I've received lately from HR is that courses will continue throughout 2016 and that all will eventually get on a course. I have no reason to presume that isn't accurate, so my fingers are crossed for all those still waiting. Just hang in there ! .

Trudy has said twice early summer for Bedford and I'm reading nothing that changes that. The start dates given are for GN not TL
Don't think we will be getting calls at all this month for Bedford
You been told kings X for October mate ?
