Hey guys, hope everyone is taking care of themselves. I was really just looking to see what happened to the thread day in the life of a trainee train driver. I finally made it and was looking to draw on someone’s experience from those that have recent started if I am allowed to ask. I...

Hey guys, Does anyone know the layout of southeasterns assessment day? Is the day 1 and 2 crammed in to one day with MMI? Thanks in advance 1616761758 Will you also have to do the VSE that you do online on the assessment day too?

Does anyone know if MTR have reached their quota or whether that will be doing another stage of recruiting this year?

The multi modal interview I think is what it stands for. It's the interview you sit at your day 2. If you pass it you move onto the DMI Driver manager Interview

Appreciate that Stigy! THE most helpful member of this forum!

Hey guys, long term fan of the forums. I just wanted to ask really if there were any ex PC's that have made it to becoming a train driver, that had any advice on what to say/not to say in regards to the MMI. Especially if you have examples relating to safety critical situations in a covert role...

Those that had their assessment day 2 today how did it go?

Hey guys, those whom have done their day 2. What would you say was the most difficult test. I know theres no way to prepare for it but just to know. Thanks in advance

Hey guys, just a quick question for those of you whom have completed your stage 2. Do they split the day and send you home if you fail? Or do they let you sit all the tests and tell you at the end of the day?

Well done to the 10/16 people who took the test today. See some of you on the 8th.

Make sure you're putting work in for the DFFT as this is definitely the hardest part of the day, practice the dots test as that will make the bourdon easier on the day.

To everyone coming for their assessment on tuesday, remember not to be late and to bring all ID. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Just focus on the skips, reversals and colour changes and you'll be fine. I didn't click when it was moving slow.
