    TransPennine Trains - Trainee Driver Recruitment Discussion

    I failed my DMI in Sept 2025 (applied July 2025), I emailed for feedback and got a call the next day from the main interviewer to chat about it. I guess it may well depend on your panel as to how they provide feedback, it surprised me that it wasn’t just an email back from recruitment. I’d be...

    Northern - Trainee Train Driver - Recruitment Discussion

    Hi, I’ve got this assessment day coming up. Do you know if the interview in the afternoon is the DMI or is it completely separate?

    TransPennine Trains - Trainee Driver Recruitment Discussion

    Had my DMI invite through this afternoon for York. Thought I'd messed up the MMI, so huge relief. Ah, just had the knock back following my DMI. Still, chuffed to have gotten this far on the first go around.

    Leeds Off Peak - TPExpress

    Hey folks, Having a bit of a confusing one with this ticket, Off Peak Return, between Leeds and Mirfield. National Rail suggested that the ticket for the 16.52 (or even the 17.52) would be an Off Peak Return. The 16.52 and 17.52 services are TPExpress and the recommended ticket is coming up as...

    'via' Return

    Hi all, Looking to go from Leeds to Milton Keynes (out on the 27th, return on the 28th), but was just wondering if I set my ticket to go via London with an Off Peak Return, am I able to have a few hours in London on the Friday? Also, on the return journey would I be able to just get...
