Congratulations!! Good luck with your training. Just follow what the instructors say and dont try and jump ahead. My trainings going well thanks. Its a lot to take in, but by doing a bit of homework and asking loads of questions it falls into place. Best of luck !

Hello SEDriver, its been a good couple of weeks with lots to take in. Really enjoyed my cab experience and its given me the incentive to knuckle down. Thanks for asking --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Well done Railton! Hopefully hear from you soon, regarding your course date

Getting ready for my start on Monday. Looking forward to the new challenges and to meeting those on my course. For all those waiting for their DM interview, I wish you the best of luck. Hang on in there!!! Its taken me ages to get to this point.

After I passed my assessment, I rang the recruitment team a couple of times and on the second occasion was told early spring. Ive asked a couple of mates who are in the job and both said its pretty much subject to requirement to when they recruit. Personally, Id definitely not ring every...

Well done!! Had a four month wait myself, between assessment and DM interview. But as you said it is obviously down to vacancies. Best of luck with your DM interview and medical.

My best advice is don't panic, remain calm and get to grips with the practice material provided. Good luck!! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Im going to be based at the Faversham depot.

No news yet, but the Doctor said I passed everything and it was just a case of waiting for the results of my urine test. I will post as soon as I hear regardless. Although I am quite positive as I don't drink nor take drugs. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Fantastic news today, Ive...

After such a long wait, I had my medical on Tuesday. I was told that all I needed was the results of the urine test to be clear. Which, unless someone has spiked a drink or something I ate, should be fine. I hopefully will get some form of confirmation soon. Could someone please tell me, are...

Could someone please tell me if train drivers and their families still get free rail travel? Plus, does this start when a trainee or after you have qualified? Many thanks !

Im going to be based at Faversham pending medical, which is not that far from me. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Sounds to me like you have it covered. I did a lot of research on SE and the Line I would be working. Read up on the most likely questions I would face, from info...

Did my DM interview last week, then received my letter stating, pending medical I will start training in June. Over the moon, but fully aware the hard work starts if I pass the medical. Is the medical very thorough and are the Rules and Regs hard to grasp? Thanks for all the info and...

Thanks for sharing that and good luck.

To be honest, wouldn't mind Grove Park or anywhere else. Recruitment said they would try and get me a depot near me. I would just really like to be kept up to date with whats happening. After the relief of passing the assessment, I think to be kept waiting for an undetermined Interview date is...

Hello Sean, still had no interview and trying to find out when and if there are vacancies coming up soon. Im based in Maidstone, so hoping for Gillingham, Ashford, Tonbridge or Faversham. Im a bit miffed as the assessment day came as a bit of a surprise and silly me thought they would interview...
