You going through all your assessments at the mo? Contract's going back tomorrow ready for 16th March start! :-o

I'm going to be based at Bedford Cauldwell.

Not sure if it's more of an online application now like FCC was when they advertised for Thameslink, rather than an application form that you email back.

Still waiting for mine, didn't think they'd be advertising again so soon. Wonder how many chose talent pool.

Just waiting for mine to be sent out, emailed and had the OK from the medical.

I think I went through the process with at least 4 firefighters, all from the same town as me so that says it all about the way that job is! I know for definite that one of them got through, I was offered talent pool or a trainee depot driver position so took that.

What colour are GTR sticking with on the Thameslink route? I can't seem to find a definitive answer/pics, I've seen white/grey with blue doors and purple like the old FCC ones. Are they sticking with the purple or moving to white/grey?

Same for me, took the offer of DD pending medical.

I'd say it wouldn't be a bad idea to think of answers to all of the questions posted in this thread and the other MMI specific ones, you shouldn't go far wrong then. There were a couple of different ones thrown in that I didn't see on here but obviously if you've got the experience to answer the...

From what I can remember of mine when I had it, I'd brush up on a bit of knowledge of the company, what the role involves, difficulties train drivers face, have some examples of the most common 'interview' questions they ask - there's loads of info on here :-)

They should know, I failed stage 1 the first time for FCC and when I went to the Govia assessment they had a sheet with what I had already done and passed/failed. You should only have to do what you haven't already done and passed.

As above, I spent a good couple of hours on my trainee driver application. I guess the important thing is how you've answered though more than anything - all said and done, the only people that can say if it's spot on or not are the ones looking over them. All the best with your application...

Happy New Year, I'm hoping to be one of those new starters soon!

:lol: that made me chuckle.

Best bet is to look out for a trainee train driver / trainee depot driver and apply.

Hi, yeah I got the letter yesterday inviting me to the drivers manager interview sat by 2 operations managers.

Well I got through it all and now just have to wait for a line manager interview, great news to have a week before Christmas.

Got the email this morning… now just waiting for a line manager interview, well pleased. Great news just before Christmas :D

Personally speaking, just one - as for if that's how it goes with everyone I don't know. I'm not sure how I'd compare them really - they're just completely different to the tests in stage 1.
