Should be within a week normally and then if you passed you will probably have the DMI invite as well

There is a chance they could find out though because your tax code will probably change once you start getting extra income. This is something I'm debating as I am in the same boat waiting for a DI which could be minimum 3 months.

I had an office job for 10 years and I applied for a couple of driving jobs but didn't get through the sift. So I took a gamble and took a backwards step in terms of wages just to get myself a job on the railway. I gained valuable safety critical experience and I have just been given my start...

I did my assessments during the last little lockdown before Christmas including the MMI face to face. However the DMI was done over Microsoft Teams which seemed to work fine. I would of personally preferred to have the DMI face to face but obviously happy to be able to complete everything in...

Yea will definitely be worth it. I only applied in August, I'm shocked at how quickly my application has progressed.

Oh Jesus that's a long time!! Well the wait has paid off now haha! Have you already had a medical?

That's great news! Hopefully see you then

It would be good if there was an agreement for them trainees to move onto the higher salary as this delay is beyond their control. I know other TOCs have increased the salaries for their trainees after a year no matter where they are up to.

There's a course provisionally booked for April as well so it's good to know everything is still going ahead.

Anyone on here had a call recently about Chester?

What start date have you been given? Apparently there's a course starting in February and then march maybe.

I was told I was put in the pool from the date I sat the paper tests. But haven't been told anything about whether you are in order from the dates or if it's from your performance. Would be interesting to know either way.

I went for Chester. Yea same, apparently they are doing remote learning so hopefully that will allow them to carry on with new courses

Same to you as well. What depot did you go for?

Yea i had my interview on Wednesday and found out Friday just gone.
