Argh. Only just outside the travel time. Frustrating
Very likely. You should almost expect the vacancies to close early these days.
Some are up for not even a full day.

Thanks Baz962 for initially posting it. Read it Mon night, had the application done by Tues lunchtime. As expected, it has closed early.
I would imagine anyone who has started their application but not completed it can finish it. The email for the SJT online assessment has been sent out.

Done my online assessment this morning before the 5th day deadline tomorrow (5 days from receiving their email). I think you only get an email straight away if you have failed from reading other threads and the “no news is good news” sometimes! Good luck
Hi, sorry for the late reply just seen your message. No I haven't received anything, been checking my email/ spam every day since!

Still no email about the online assessment here either. Saw on another thread one guy was waiting 8 weeks until he was told he passed his assessment with Abellio!

Also awaiting further comms. It can be weeks between application and 1st / 2nd / 3rd round of tests etc.

What did the assessment day consist of? Psychometric tests only?
Hello. It was the Group Bourdon Test, cables and dials, DFFT, counting tones/phonebook/counting tones + phonebook and the GLOP test. Around 4 hours from start to finish including one small break and working through examples.

Sounds like the Stage 1 psychometrics with the TOC. Where was it held?
Stage 2 is usually with OPC (more tests + MMI).
Having gone through the process with ARL London last year, I hope it went ok for you!

Probably around 15 in attendance, some guards and some external. I don't think many were for Bletchley, most guys seemed to be there for Birmingham roles advertised months ago.
Stage one was with OPC in Birmingham last week, stage 2 is with WMR in Watford which is computerised tests and driver manager interview. Not sure if the DM interview is the MMI, or the MMI is additional.

I’m guessing nobody has had any updates since the initial application stage?
The job is now at the final stages, MMI/DMI etc.

I just got an update from WMT. They've offered me a DMI in May in Birmingham. Anyone else heard back?
