    Thank you very much for your advice. The day after your message I got an email for a DMI with SWR. I did the interview and now I got the job as an Internal driver. My medical is this Friday and I start 29th of April Once medical done I will cancel all my other applications. Finally made it...

    By waiting around and failing the DMI. Half of the time is over. 1712739499 Yes can't seem to get over the line. Seems so close but couldn't find the boost to get over the line. I've changed my answers so hopefully I get over the line next time. The DMI isn't easy.

    How long is the MMI valid for? I've lost 2.5 years.

    If you do manage to do the MMI after a shift. Don't mention you did the long shift. Only because there is lots of rules on rest times and they might think you'll break the rules. Try and change the shift if possible as the MMI is very intense so you'll need to be able to think properly.

    Most likely you'll only do the MMI.

    It was a while ago but the questions aren't hard. It's just what you say is important. Things like a time you worked as part of a team, worked alone or under pressure. What do you know about the company and so on. It's not hard but you need to get top scores as other people will also prepare...

    I work part time for the railway and part time for the London underground so transport is free. I got an electric bicycle through the cycle2work scheme so I only drive to work when the weather is bad. From driving 15,000 - 20,000 miles a year I now only drive 1000 -3000 miles a year.

    That's very helpful. I also need a plan B for example coming to work and all the parking spaces taken. I recently bought a E-Bike through cycle2work scheme. I don't mind parking up and riding a few miles. -------‐--------------‐‐-------------------------------------------- 1708731038 I checked...
