Cheers

Wonder what kind of standard this enhanced GBT is then. Wondering if it's no/minimal errors or emissions or if it's more speed with similar errors to national standards or a mixture of both. Suppose we'll find out sooner or later. Good luck to all attending Wednesday and i'll see some of you guys come 12.40!!

Hi All - going back to the application it stated that applicants had to tlive within 60 mins of the depot, which i do.

However, I may be moving in the near future and would be just over the 60 mins. What happens if you are employed by EMT and then move further away? Do they sack you or are they not bothered?

If you're successful I'd seriously re-consider where you move to if I was you. An hour commute each direction (or more in rush hour/bad weather) would soon take its effect on you, especially with the shift work, starting and finishing in the small hours of the morning at times.

Just the GBT for me. Hope I did enough this time. With the lady from the OPC saying EMT set a very high standard I'm not sure. Time will tell!

Doesn't seem to be many stating they got to DMI. I'm sure there are. Location has been changed for mine.

Seems to be only two of us on here that have said we have DMI

Like you say I'm sure there is a lot more.
