Thank you both. I don't actually know what level of hearing loss I have in my bad ear, but it could well be -40dB. Using Rockbox on my MP3 player I set the balance to -13dB on my good ear which seems to balance things out nicely, but that's a highly unscientific test I know. Obvs the nightmare...

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere in the last 50 pages but: I've got my medical a week on Thursday for a trainee driver place. The only potiential problem is my hearing- I have one perfectly good ear (the right) but only about 30% of normal hearing in the other (the left)- the cochlea is...

OK thanks all, I will not attempt to jump the gun learning the rules then, will just expect to do an hour or two of revision at home every evening...

I had my DMI at Grove Park last week. I was very nervous and wasn't sure I came across well. Then at the end of the interview they told me that they were interviewing four people for one place on the May course*, so I've basically spent the week feeling down in the dumps waiting for the...

Hi all, I passed the tests and MMI at the end of October, just been invited for my DMI at Grove Park next week. I have received the info sheet on TPWS which I will learn, and then see if I can rote learn every word! I gather I should also learn as much as I can about the routes the depot...

Just banged my application in with 70 minutes to spare, many thanks for posting it up! :)

Congrats! I told you they were efficient ;) .

Thanks for this very measured and reasonable response to my rather aggressive post last night! Must admit I'd had a few when I posted, and if I'm honest falling at the very last hurdle in the application process has probably wounded me more than I've so far been prepared to admit, even to...

Great feedback for which I am (and presumably everyone else going for a job as a driver is) genuinely grateful. So please don't think I'm having a go at you! :) But I've worked in the London bus industry for the past 8 1/2 years, for the first 20 months as a bus driver and the rest of the...

They were quick and efficient. Sorry CBA to go and look through my emails this time of night but IIRC it was a month or so from putting my application in to being invited to the first stage. I get so many spam emails in my main account that I didn't notice the invite until about 4 days after I...

Just seen this thread. It's a bit of a kick in the guts for me as I'd applied for New Cross in a previous round, and failed the final manager interview a few weeks ago. I had hoped it was just because they had more good candidates than they needed but apparently not :( . Good luck to all who...

Well... Having applied for Hither Green in June, guess what the postman brought today? A letter inviting me to an assessment day- in mid-March! :lol: From the look of the practice materials they sent me it's the exact same standard tests I've already passed with LOROL, so I rang them to see if...

I would recommend downloading the Group Bourdon Tool and practising with both paper printouts and the program itself. You really do need to practice a bit to get the hang of spotting all the different types of four dot groups. They don't send you any in the practice materials However that's the...

I was thinking the same yesterday, and I'm prepared to start and try and administer the thread. Personally I'm only looking for trainee driver positions but happy to include others if people find them. To be honest though it'll be a very busy first post if every job out there is listed as most...

Ah well, I'll check daily, got 5 years lol! :p
