Interesting that they're (potentially) putting through more candidates for Shrewsbury, I'm currently waiting for a new interview date for that depot, so hopefully this is a positive sign that they're building up more candidates to run a round of interviews.
Fingers crossed, and good luck!
Nice one, cheers pal! Best of luck with your assessments... hope you smash it!!
I did mine on the 30th of November, hope it works out wellfor your mate. I'm applying for Chester depot.
I had my interview on Thursday, they said I would hear back within a week. Which depot have you applied for?
Ah I’m so sorry. Just get ready to apply again.
Research traction, routes, future plans, company history & prepare answers to the obvious questions. Why do you want to be a train driver, why should we pick you out of the hundreds we have etc Good luck
They will press you on a few things in the MMI, I think to try and see if you change your answer under pressure - I was really pressed on how I'd respond to an emergency situation and especially if someone was challenging my response (for example, questioning if emergency services need to be called), I stuck to my sensible answer. I was also really pressed on maintaining focus for long periods of time, so be prepared to talk about how you maintain focus, even when doing repetitive tasks... I'm sure my responses were terrible, but I passed the MMI so must've done something right lol
The tests are what they are, pretty hard to give any real ‘guidance’ as I believe them to be either a ‘Youve either got it or you haven’t’ situation or a bit of luck.
Nice one, cheers for that mate..... I'll look into those. Final hurdle... getting nervous now!!
I must say I found it very intense. I was convinced I’d failed it.
sounds like you did alright...
I did, replied back in 4 mins. So we'll see if there's a space
I was at work and didn't see it until I was on my way home, I doubt I was quick enough.
That's the same as I had - no further response yet.
If you haven’t got a date within 4 minutes then I’d be surprised.
Hi, did you get offered a start date straight away or were you put into the talent pool first? I found out on Monday that I passed the DMI and have gone into the talent pool awaiting a training course to come up.
I've gone for Crewe, what about you?
Morning, apologies for jumping in on your conversation and congratulations on your successful DMI. Where is your medical taking place, is it a local area around North Wales or would it be up in Chester again ?
