Has anyone taken a dmi with frl new cross recently ? If so any info on what to expect please ?


Also if there's anyone that actually works for frl, can you share what a typical day looks like ? Are you always on the same route, how often do you get a relief break ?

Thanks

Can I just ask, do you have your date yet after passing stage 2 or no ?

Thanks
So my route is a bit different I passed stage 1 and 2 with a different rail company I did my DMI quite soon after stage 2 but didn’t pass that DMI now I’ve applied to another company all I had to do was m7-sjt I’ll say a week after that they gave me a date for my DMI

Does anyone know what are the starting dates of the upcoming courses for FRL? :)
Probably not much help but I’m on a qualified drivers course starting next month. Believe they have trainee courses starting nearly every month.

Thank you. It's good to know the process is faster than other TOCs

For anyone who passed stage 2 around 6th August, have you been contacted regarding dmi ?

Also does anyone know approximately how long it could take to hear back after successful stage 2 & mmi ?


Hi all,

I know someone who had stage two assessments including mmi on 5th August and has now received requests for interview next week for new cross, anyone else too ?
