Anyone else who is expecting an interview not had an e-mail? I have previously been advised that I would be getting an interview but not heard anything yet. Strange that everyone wasn't notified at the same time.

I am in the same boat, last email I got (30 Nov) said the next stage was the DMI. I may contact HR tomorrow just to put my mind at ease.

The email I got didn't mention if I were shortlisted it just stated that my next stage was the DMI, hopefully not an omission

Mine also didn't say anything about short listing, it was quite definitive that the next stage for me was the DMI. I had passed the driver assessments previously, so the last stage I've done with FTPE was the phone interview.

I will contact them later this afternoon if I don't receive an e-mail.

Applied through MTR crossrail and filled out questionnaire. Was told I didn't make it based on the info given. Considering I asked my father in law to check (train driver for 20 years) I know it wasn't my answers. Maybe because I'm female or because I live over 40 mins away? ( could get there in hour...)
Hay ho :( gutted

Well it won't be because yourfemale I saw a few females during my assessment days.
Took me 3 years to get past application stage I even changed jobs to get more experience.

I think they can be picky as they want. They want the very best with life experience. I agree it's defiantly not because your female your answers may just not suit the company. Or like you say it's where you live. I've managed to get DMI first time asking some may say am lucky. Am very pleased to have got this far.

My email didn't mention short list either just next stage would be DMI. I'd ring them up for sure and ask as 30th November is a long time ago now.

I think the wording was irrelevant really. I'm happy because I have been given a DM interview anyway. :)

Turns out the wording isn't irrelevant, just waiting for the email after speaking to HR.....

I think people on here read into things too much. The variation of wordings on people's emails were clearly irrelevant. Best advice is to sit and be patient for those who have yet to receive an e-mail. This is because the toc recruitment team will not want to be hassled. They won't have forgotten about you. So sit back and wait.
