I wrote to HMRC 4 weeks back requesting confirmation of my NI, as I couldn't find mine and have never needed it before (never worked in the UK), they told me I have one already but still hasn't arrived in the post so may have to re-schedule my assessment unless MTR are willing to accept...

Next week for me

Hi gurp, For me it was 24 hours, if you read back through the thread there is a lot of info here.

Well done, sure you'll be fine as long as there weren't too many errors...What's the "enhanced standard" ?

Ok great, thanks for the reply.

Just wondering if the DFFT is timed, and if so what's the time pressure like? Obviously accuracy is by far the most important thing here, but are there an unlimited number of questions, do most people finish?

Hi, whoever said they turn down people straight away is wrong. If i remember correctly, there is nowhere on the application that says "willing to relocate" or anything similar...I live farther than 40 mins, (but will relocate if I get the job) and got through the initial paper sift.

For those of you wishing to run the program on a Mac, here is an easy fix. Simply download and install this : http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ Then download the groupbourdon.exe and simply run it, simple as that!

Interesting I was under the impression it would be a May or June start...So who's going to be driving the Liv street to Shenfield route when it opens, current Anglia drivers? I thought most weren't moving over.

I see they have now moved the closing date for applications to June instead of September or whatever it was.

Fantastic! Hope to be joining you as a trainee in the not too distant future, currently in the middle of the rather long 9 stage application :)

Congrats! What made you want to make the switch? Was it just an interview for you?

Wow, really? That's worrying, I didn't think such technical knowledge was required at this stage.

Does/Has anybody here purchased the material for train driver assessment off how2become.com? Is it worth it? Are there any other materials out there that are highly recommended /used a lot? Trying to prepare for my assessment as best as I can.

Any "Gotcha" questions?

Congrats. What date did they give for the next tests?

Any chance GTR will open recruitment again soon then? I just missed the last round.

That would be perfect! Thanks for the info.

For anyone that has done the phone interview, have you heard back yet? Anybody been invited to stage 5? I have a holiday coming up and am wondering how big the gap is between stage 4 and 5 dates...Im hoping about 2 weeks lol

Thanks that would be really nice of you, mine's on the 9th...Some mate he is! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Here is the full process...A lot of tests, that's for sure! :o 9 Stages of the selection procedure The stages are as follows: Stage 1: Complete and submit your MTR...
