OPC was the last step for me and I had a email from freightliner advising of course allocation taking place on the same day OPC advise of a pass, still awaiting updates after that though.
I'm the same just waiting to hear anything back from that email. Where have you applied for ? Maybe there doing it regarding depots or most manpower is needed first?

Oh it was right eye.. but I know my eye site is spot on. I blame the fact that I just came off a 12 hour night as a signaller, straight to the medical
Booked in for Specsavers Saturday and will just email result,
Another signaller that has moved to the dark side! Welcome!

I failed the eyesight test on my medical - my distance vision was slightly out. Went to the opticians and got my prescription and emailed to the company and all was good. Its the amount of correction they look out for I believe

I sat my computer tests and mmi in Watford last week. Just had the email from the opc to say I’ve passed!! Over the moon is an understatement!!
Any idea how long the wait is normally for the dmi?

Have you not done the manager interview already, I had that before the assessment stage

Anyone that managed to get through to the MMI stage with the OPC, how long was it until you heard whether it was a pass or fail? Just so I can brace myself !!

I was at the opc with you yesterday and sat my mmi interview directly after you. Just had email to say I've passed and will get contacted for a Dmi.
Have you heard yet?

It was horrible. Came out thinking I haven't passed it.
Congrats also
I remember having the exact same feeling, and then to be told I’d passed was unreal!!

Medical done today, such a good feeling to have that box ticked as well.
Now just the wait for contract/start date! :lol::lol:

Excellent news! How long did you wait for medical? I've done driving license declaration, DBS etc but not a medical yet. Wondering what the time scales are.

had mine last wednesday, heard back on friday (pass)
Congrats mate. Well done, you must be buzzing.
Can I ask how you found the experience (MMI)? I have read so many threads mentioning that is a daunting process. But i have read a few that have said otherwise.

Well done mate. Just think, there are apparently ten's of thousands that apply so you smashed it.

The MMI is only a daunting process if your examples don’t cover all the points, if they are satisfied with your answers they will not probe much.

My advice is to research the job spec and NTS then prepare your answers to STAR format.

I had my medical appointment attached to my conditional offer email.

Cheers! Yeah I am buzzing. I carried out all my tests in 2018 from the last round of Recruitmant and have been in the talent pool ever since. Then got a phone call around February asking me to do a up to date DMI interview as it had been so long since my last one.

Tbh, in my experience I did find the MMI a little daunting. Nothing like I had experienced before.

I take you’d passed everything then, just waiting on a start date?
Was awaiting a medical date, but had all the assessments, MMI and DMI passed.
Likely be years now before another opportunity presents itself.

Typical.... .

Yes, I am. Did my computer tests and MMI in Watford on Thursday 17th March so not losing faith yet as it's not even been a fortnight.
Yeah I’m just waiting on a DMI for Crewe. Hopefully hear something soon. Wonder how many positions are available? Hopefully don’t just get put into a talent pool!
