Yeah I was told I would hear yesterday as well and heard nothing, figured I hadn't gotten through when I heard nothing.
Yeah I was told we’d find out on Monday at the interview on Thursday - this was after being told earlier in the week it’d be Thursday night/Friday so they must have had other things going on.
On my assessment day we were advised the same as Dobb. Paul said “I’ve been asked this a lot so if your wondering .... training salary will be £35knothing official though.
DMI was very different to what I was expecting; nothing rail related or company related (East Coast or FG), actually didn’t seem that long for me!
Does anyone know how many were interviewed? I know on my day 2 others got to MMI - nice genuine lad and lass, hope they got through to the DMI.
We’ll all find out on Monday - least if it is bad news it hasn’t spoilt the weekend.

The salary was confirmed at my assessment day by the guy from FG, 35k training 60k once qualified
Was also mention of a slight increase in the number of positions with the possibility of a few more, maybe thats why they are waiting till monday?
They are still aiming for a Sept 1st start, which is tight considering there is still a medical to get through and references to be checked.

Did you have your assessments on Tuesday 21st?
I was told we would find out at the start of the week during my interview. Good luck everyone

We all probably feel a bit like that, I felt like the initial interview went well, the testing was ok , wouldn't say I enjoyed it lol ... The MMI I had no idea how it went , and the DMI I felt was ok till one simple question and I choked!!! I just hope the don't judge me on that one question.
They want to move away from the traditional driver role and be more customer focused so I banged on about safety and customer service as much as possible, just hope that's what they are looking for

Yeah I just felt like I never lost my initial nerves and also didn't have great answers to a couple of the tougher questions. It's a shame because the first interview and the MMI both went very well. Still, the fact that I gave what I thought were weak answers have encouraged me to look at what more I can do in my current job to improve those areas in the future, so not all bad.

We're hoping for news todayjust curious wether anybody has started to find out about this role yet? if they need people to get through the medical and work a notice ready for 1st september then they need to start informing people surely.
Thanks

Can only presume they are having to sort some issues out today before contacting people, like someone said previously perhaps needing more numbers than they originally thought?
