Hi mate morning, You could try using Abi Thompson. She is who I have been in liaison with in the process.

Hi Phil, Well congratulations on being a guard with WMT!! I know a few guards with WMT and it is a brilliant career with many options to take to advance your career. Hopefully stage 1 goes well on the 10th along with the next stages. Will be a pleasure to meet you and work a train together...

Morning, Not a problem, hope you get everything sorted with them.

Hello, Good Morning. Here is WMT's recruitment email address: recruitment@westmidlandrailways.com

Morning Dark Lightning. Glad to hear you heard back quickly. I've booked in for the afternoon slot, give me chance to prepare in the morning and quickly go over my notes etc. What about you mate?

Hi Jeff, You may have to contact recruitment as they wouldn't invite you to an assessment day if there wasn't one booked? There may just be an issue with the link or system. Let us know what happens.

I'm not surprised mate, I will be exactly the same. It's a very rewarding career and you never stop learning! Can always better your performance by changing certain aspects of your driving and outlook!! It will be an amazing step up from being a shunter that I am now! How ever long it takes...

Ah okay I bet your looking forward to starting? Well I do appreciate that mate, means a lot to have support from others in the same situation.... They haven't been able to give me any dates after stage 1 so seems like when I pass on the 10th I may be in for a long wait...

Yes your right! It's best to just keep yourself to yourself really and not say too much about how you do in the tests. Don't want to seem full of yourself. Thank you for wishing us good luck, I shall let you know how I got on

Just a quick few questions mate, Was it dots or letters? Was it circles with arrows or dials with numbers And was the DFFT like the one in the paper attached they send in the email?

Ah great, all being well we will cross tracks in the near future :) Yes I agree with you, never know who may be lurking around to see what we are like! I usually make good first impressions then keep myself to myself and focus on what I'm there to do. It's an assessment centre not a party...

Hello Abacus 614, Well done on passing stage 1! I will take on board what you have both said, it's really appreciated. I am carrying out as many tests as I can in between work. I will go in there with a level head and stay calm so I can do the best I can. Is it New Street you've put...

Evening Akasutts, Thank you very much for all your information and advice! It is greatly appreciated. I have been fitting in time to practice as many of the tests I can. I do feel confident at most of the tests now. I've been using the practice materials that WMT sent me along with resources...
