Yes I was the same and then left a voicemail on both numbers and was called back thankfully.
OK are they computer based or paper based? I've looked on the Internet and there are lots of different tests. Will there be a set number of tests and have you completed them recently. I don't have a date yet for my psychometric tests so I'm trying to prep as much as I can

New user alert! (Qualified driver)!
Been following this feed for a while now and decided to join since I've passed the assessment centre and Medical for the azuma driver job!
Has anyone else passed everything and not heard thing regarding start date/salary or anything at all?

Cancel it unless they give you course dates that don't clash, otherwise it's your call, I know what most guys who are in your position would do

I have passed it all also for Newcastle Depot.
I received a phone call from "B.W" today which wasn't exactly the news I wanted to hear.

Hi All
Been reading the posts for a while now. I have my medical next week. From the previous post, you mention a phone call from B.C. What does this mean?

How long did it take from getting the email to say you had passed psychometrics to getting booked in for a medical?
