Good luck, you have to be calm with this one. There is nothing to be nervous about!

Thanks mate, Ive done pretty much what I can to be ready for the day, practice took this week off as ive only had a long weekend this year so far booked a hotel nearby so getting there is easy so like you say its all about keeping in the right frame of mind now and giving myself the best chance.

That's great! You planned well that's for certain! I know nerves can kick in, look at the Wim Hoff breathing technique helps you so much feeling confident and energetic. Don't drink energy drinks like red bull, will not help you. Something that can stabilise your energy levels.

Since you booked a hotel nearby, you should feel refereshed, come the next morning.

OPC team are a friendly bunch of people, put you at ease they will!

Thankyou thats great advice. I know caffeine may seem your fruend but it can make you jumpy and on edge which isnt conducive to great results under pressure.

Not been on here for quite a while, Manchester applicant, got an email some time back to say that they are prioritising other depots but they are still interested in my application.
Just interested to see if any Manchester applicants have had any correspondence or success in advancing in the process.
Cheers

Same situation. Been a while since last email.

Has anyone heard back from the DMI a couple of weeks ago?

Still waiting, wander what's going on. You?

 

[dayuss]

Yeah haven't heard anything either, will be 14 days tomorrow since I had my DMI. Hoping to hear something soon!

 

[Harvinder]

This week we should hear something, fingers crossed!

 

[dayuss]

When did you have your DMI and for which depot out of interest?

 

[Harvinder]

Same as you but for Euston.

 

[Ses16]

The Avanti rep is on this thread, I’m surprised nobody has just tagged them and asked.

 

[Bus mechanic]

Not too sure that’s a genuine account

 

[Ses16]

It said verified rep, could be wrong but I doubt it.

 

[Ned21]

Had mine 2 weeks ago tomorrow, hopefully some news soon.

 

[wolvesayewe]

My DMI will be 2 weeks ago tomorrow, won't hold my breath to hear anything, very frustrating.

 

[LarryBD]

Can anyone say if the Bourdon test is manual on paper&pencil or is it on computer?

 

[Jquarterz]

Just catching up with everything. I had my DMI on the 11th for Euston. I was told I should hear something back in two weeks time. So I wasn't expecting to hear anything back until at least next week at the earliest

Do you know what I think? If we get a generic, “congratulations you passed” without your name attached. Then I think they will send out the pass emails all in one go. Compared to last years intake where they got their results individually soon after having the DMI.

That’s my current hunch.

Yeah that makes sense. There could possibly still be interviews going on for euston do you think?

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one awaiting the results of the DMI. It's day 21st, two weeks have passed by, and hopefully we will hear from them soon. Good luck to everyone

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one awaiting the results of the DMI. I had already assumed that I didn't pass it (I got pretty nervous during the interview and felt like I said silly things). It's day 21, two weeks have passed by, and hopefully, we will hear from them soon. Good luck to everyone

No news is good news….there is one member of staff in Birmingham dealing with recruitment for the whole country so could take some time.

Good luck
