Anyone else due to attend the assessment day at Crewe today? I received the cancellation email so left and didn’t see the email stating the day was back on until much later. Wondering if anyone else is in the same boat?

I'm in the assessment day on Wednesday. Any reason they initially cancelled it?

Thank you. I’ve emailed twice and had no reply, when I called the lady said that Michelle won’t be in the office until Wednesday so fair to say I’m extremely stressed!

Hope it went well for you today.

There was an issue with the lighting.

I was there for the morning course & the OPC wanted to cancel it due to the room having exceptionally dull light, it wasn't until the last minute & they found another room for us to go into.

Jaw - were you suppose to be on the morning course?

I was slightly disappointed we didn't do all the tests + MMI in one day like others in the process have, just a waiting game now for our results!

I think you will find the Garston drivers will disagree
Sorry to be dim but where do you think is the Garston depot? The original Garston station was closed many years ago and replaced in a new location at Liverpool South Parkway.

Has everyone attending the assessment tomorrow seen the email from Michelle about the change of venue? Fortunately I live locally but not ideal for those travelling to Crewe today and presumably staying overnight at the original venue. If anyone is in that position I have 4 (at a squeeze) spaces in my car and would be happy to pick you up from the original venue and take you to the new one.

I’m due to attend at 12.30 tomorrow...last I heard from Michelle it’s at Crewe hall, is that still correct?

I live in Hampshire & had assessments in Crewe. It's just a case of travelling I think

Is that for stage 1 or stage 2 of the assessments?

No idea. First time I've been invited.
It will say on the email which tests you have to do. I would definitely want to stay over the night before as travelling 3 plus hours before wouldn't be the best plan imo.

Worked for me (3 hour drive both ways) , with about 2 hours sleep the previous night. Not THE BEST advice, but it's certainly no reason to panic about not able to stay over if its not possible.

I would say that would be unlikely given they only received the email last night

I received my email offer (pending medical etc) last night. With a provisional date of May to start.
Which area did you apply for? I'm still waiting to hear anything back after the email asking for CV and notice period.
