    Final Stage - MMI

    I'm not sure, I did the medical on a Tuesday and was told I had past by the Friday, so they would have to be pretty quick.

    Final Stage - MMI

    SE Driver assessment policy

    For info I had passed everything with GTR test wise and SE contacted me and accepted that but I had to go and do the MMI with them which I got through ok. Don't know if that is similar to you Hugh, gutted for you but I am sure you will pass with no problem at all.

    Trainee Drivers - Victoria & Charing Cross

    I have spoken to the HR at SE and the 5 mile radius is correct, not sure why the date has changed.
  14. M

    Success 2nd time around.

    I Have had no feedback, I have read previous posts and I don't think GTR are all that good at giving feedback, I have emailed the HR so hopefully may hear soon. I hope I didn't sound too cocky in my original post I wasn't over confident I just thought it went well but clearly it didn't.
