Hi All, Iv got my MMI coming up soon with GWR, Can anyone give any tips or hints on how they prepared for it or how they practiced before? Just want to give myself the best possible chance so when I come out of it I know iv put 100% in. Iv got the 6 usual questions and a few more incase of...

Thank you for this. So it's basically a gamble and hope they will offer further dates when they come up. Iv emailed recruitment but nothing back so didn't want to click the button until I was sure. Il just keep my fingers crossed Cheers

Does anyone know if you can't make the dates they have given that you get other dates when they become available? I'm abroad for two weeks and all the dates are within them weeks. Don't want to miss the opportunity to take the tests.

This thread has been very helpful for me aswell, I'm starting my career as a conductor in February with gwr. Iv been a bus driver for 6 years and now it's time for a change but as you have said the job it was you make of it. I'm hoping that the job its challenging at times but I want to learn...

Thank you Towers for taking the time out of your day to explain this all! It's really appreciated. Being new onto the rails I just want to get a good understanding of as much as I can before I start

When you say 3 conductor links I take that means 3 different rotas? And early a mixed and a late. I assume you have to put your name down to get onto them or you start off on the mixed one and go from there? Is anyone a guard for Gwr on this thread? Whats your opinion on the rotas?
