I had my medical on Tuesday as well. 3-5 working days for drug test confirmation. So hopefully I will get a call next week. But I'm not getting too excited. I'll believe it' happening when I actually walk through the door on my first day.

That's great mate. I'm still waiting for this medical.

Hopefully you get an email soon. I've not been told anything about May like the others so still a waiting game at this point. I'm sure they'll call you in for a medical soon since you'e been re-interviewed

That's great. Hopefully I'll hear about a medical and be on the next course intake. It's a nightmare not knowing whether to book holidays and stuff..... Like being in limbo. Any news RUUDBOY??

Hi Hoppy, first week is ok. Just easing everyone in with company induction for the first few days. But everyone seems sound. Going to be a good training environment. Haven't heard anything about future courses but I'll let you know if I hear anything bud

Hi everyone - I applied for this back in August 2015, have passed all my assesments but im yet to have my DMI. I have been assured that I am still in the process. Is there anyone else in the same situation as me? I would feel better knowing im not the only one still waiting before they move onto the new applicants for West Mids. Thanks.

Mundinho...... Hi. I too applied for the job back in August 2015 and am still 'in the pipeline'. Ive had two DMI interviews so far. One, well over 12 months ago and another back in March this year. Im currently waiting for another medical and job offer. Having looked at previous threads it appears that 3 years waiting and going through the application isn't unusual and patience is the name of the game.

So, RUUDBOY et al. hows the May course going? I'm still here waiting. Dont suppose there's any sign of another course by the end of the year and a vacancy at Worcester for me is there?

Hi Hoppy, course is going well. It's all moving along to schedule. We are moving onto the second rules course next week, and will be driving under instruction by next month.
I'm not sure about any further courses. You're best bet is to keep in touch with HR every few weeks in case there is space for a Worcester driver on an end of year course. Hang in there buddy

Can you apply for this even though you have one in for Peterborough?
You would need to speak with them if you are already in their pool they may move you, I am aware the OPC have said only one questionnaire per applicant in this round, but I do know people who have applied for both Birmingham and Crewe.
