You will be told on the day if you have passed the medical apart from the alcohol/drugs test as that takes a couple of days to come back although if you pass, you won't hear anything. Once that is all clear, at some stage you will get a date to sign contracts and collect your uniform.

Which hotel were you at as they weren't doing interviews today?

Welcome Jabs29. I suggest the first thing you do is to read through this thread as there is a lot of information already been given. Next, TfL in the communication to you have pointed you to examples and what to expect. Go through those and ensure you fully understand it. The real tests are...

What exactly is the jelly bean thing?

5 competencies? They only have Customer Service Orientation, Results Focus and Safety Awareness listed in the example documentation. What are the others?

Just as a matter of interest, what sort of questions were asked? Were they difficult? I have applied for a different job with TFL and want to see if there is anywhere I can get a bit of practice in. Any help appreciated.
