Ironic that the day they generously provide me with free travel is the day I’m only 18 miles away. TBF it was an unexpected gesture, fair play!

Thats exactly what I needed, thank you very much!

Hi All, I am due at Laira Depot for a my medical, the letter is not especially specific on parking however the address is Embankment road, there is a car park there but it doesn't strike me as being for visitors. Anyone able to advise? Thanks in advance, apologies if posted in the wrong place.

GWR most definitely use group bourdon.

I would imagine there are no intakes planned in the next few months hence the merging of the pools, sounds better than just pulling the plug on your pool surely?

I will (medical pending) be joining you, a heartfelt thank you to everyone on the forum, I rarely contribute but the information I have gleaned has made the difference to my preparation for interview.

Last year it went straight to stage 1 assessments.

I am still going through the process from Last years intake, I applied in the July, was invited to an assessment centre in the March for the following June, I think I had a couple of thanks for your patience style emails around the November and January. I imagine you will be rejected quickly or...

I applied in July last year, Mmi booked for next month. I’m not aware that there have been any further external adverts.

I have finally been invited to an interview in December (passed stage 1 in June), it mentions the MMI and a selection interview, I haven't come across that terminology before but presumably this is the DMI?

Near Plymouth, Devon seems to be a black hole for trainee opportunities.

Well done! No it would be a complete career change and relocation for me.

Reading, there were a few spaces on some earlier assessments but nothing I could get to.

I was offered an assessment centre place this week for July.

Nothing here, in no rush, I failed on the WAFV last time (itchy trigger finger, think it was nerves tbh) and would suggest the longer I have to practice the better!
