If you are who I am thinking of, then yes. I'm so sorry to hear you didn't make it! I know it's no consolation, but you passed the difficult bits! So they are valid for 5 years. I was successful, and start training in August. I wish you all the best with future applications

Good luck to all those still in the process for this campaign. Stick with it.

I have to be honest, all with my contact with recruitment has been through email so unable to help if there are any numbers. sorry

I've not seen a number for them... Have you got any email address?

Hi Marcus I'm not Police, but Ambo. But, like you, I am just over 10 years in to my Emergency Service career. I am starting my trainee position in about 4 weeks, it's exciting but daunting. I'm hoping I've made the right choice, which, I'm sure I have. After hearing about the hours etc...

I had my DMI earlier this year, and I agree with what was said above, It felt like the managers wanted to get to know you. GWR seem to do the DMI last (it appears some TOCs this is done early on) and by this point, you have passed everything to get to this stage. They aren't there to fail you...

Does that mean that if the train to work location from nearest station was a XC, they would allow free travel? (Route is a GWR route)

Video interview You aren't actually being interviewed by a real person. It will give you a question on the screen, you have 2 mins to read and then it will automatically record you for 5 mins (I'm sure that's the timings I had). It isn't questions about, "what do you know about GWR", it's...

Have an upcoming medical end of the month. Do I need to take a print out of my medical history or do they have access to it?

Think you would have to ping an email and ask.

Maybe... Although I read it as more of a careers fair type thing. Speaking with drivers etc about how they feel about the role and training. Not sure you will gain much more insight into much else. But could be wrong!

Congratulations :D exciting times ahead

Thank you. Well, admittedly I've got medical this month (although I'm hoping there should be an issue) then begining of August

As someone who's in the same position as the OP, this has been a fantastic read and a great question asked :) Look forward to my new career on the railways

Congratulations! I have recently gone through the process with GWR and have a start date (exciting). I have to say, my DMI didn't ask about company/routes/traction etc. But can't say that will be for every depot
