    The rules and regs week is a bit intense but aslong as you do some revision at home you will be fine. None of our group failed we all got above 95%.

    Things are going well, first week is tough getting the rules and regs done but it gets a lot more interesting after that. We are learning the Ashton Eccles line.

    Ok thanks for the advice, how long does it take for the uniform to arrive. Did you fill the order from out and return it before you start like HR say in the letter or did you wait till you started and used the measuring stuff in the training rooms as it says on the order form.

    Hi all just looking for abit of advice, I’m due to start on the 21st just wondering what the dress code is while I wait for my uniform to arrive and roughly how long this takes.

    Hi Kirsty. I applied in December through the website and didn’t hear anything back until March but some people on my assessment day was saying they heard back within a few weeks so just luck of the draw I think.

    The simulator is relatively straight forward its just push forward to go and pull back to break. If you listen to the instructions it’s easy there was no one on my assessment day that failed at that stage.

    Thanks for all your help. The job for life aspect is what made me want to do it so much, sick of jumping from job to job in finance. I will DM you if I need anything thanks.

    The tests are still dials then shapes and the interview is relatively straightforward just competency based questions.

    No there hasn’t been any mention of which lines first or anything. I’m guessing the first few months are very full on and intense. I what have the working hours been like while your doing your training. What’s your thoughts on the job so far.

    Thanks kezbian, as you all said the medical really straight forward. Had the phone call back yesterday to say everything had come back ok and had my start date confirmed for the 21st of May.

    There was only two of us that made it to interview stage the scatt test caught people out. The medical sounds straightforward enough cheers.

    Good evening all, I had my assessment day earlier today and passed everything and have been invited on a medical Monday 23rd. I was just wondering if anyone could shed some light on what the eyesight requirements are and what the medical process is. Thanks
