7th Jan at Old Oak, although I applied for Maidenhead. Yourself?

Got the email and a phone call today been given a start date but not for my depot of choice, but who am I to turn them down! Lol. Congrats everyone on getting good news today!

Thanks for your help.... Ive had the interview now so fingers crossed for my call next week

Hi, thanks. Was wondering though if they asked specific questions regarding your knowledge of MTR and Crossrail, or expect you to just say all you know....

Hi.... Do they ask specific questions or just expect you to ramble on and say what you know? I've researched a lot and can answer a lot of questions, but don't have too much faith in myself to be able to put that all in a presentation like way....

That's great, thanks for the insight, have eased my mind knowing a little of what to expect and what to do my research on.

Thanks for your reply. I did think as much, and have the time line saved now too, thanks. Are you applying or have already secured a contract?

Did you figure out what 'the stages of crossrail' are?

Finally have a date for my DMI, was hoping for a bit of info regarding it, as this is the first time Crossrail haven't provided any kind of info in order to prep.... Have heard of some having a general chit chat, and others being grilled on the history of crossrail.... Any other surprises? Lol

Good luck in passing the DMI guys.... Any info on what to expect, have heard its either a general chit chat or tell them a history of crossrail. Shall prepare for both as have a date for mine now (26th Nov) just is scary not having any info from them about it at all.

The MMI is competency based, they definitely mark you and you'll find out on the day if you passed or not. If you don't pass they tell you what question you failed on and a brief reason why. The DMI I haven't done yet, I've heard 2 different versions, you either have a chit chat about...

All the best for today! Are you at the Maidenhead depot? Do you still have to go to Liverpool Street for all the training etc?

I didn't purchase anything extra, just used the training book they provided. Printed out multiple copies at work and just kept practising these.

Lolol, yeah I know what you mean.

Hey.... I did Watford with you... I'm still waiting on a DMI date too.....

Great news! What depot are you applying for? And when did you do your personality test?

It's seems they now hold the stage 2 assessments in Watford, this means they only have the capacity to assess 6 people at a time (I was there on Friday) which I'm assuming isn't really enough to get through all the people waiting. As for email responses, I've emailed MTR and OPC regarding things...

They seem to be a bit overwhelmed with applicants right now, I wouldn't worry to much. Just be ready to attend an assessment day within a week (which is what happened to me)

Get there early, not 1 minute late. And practise, they give you everything you need to be able to pass the tests in the practise booklet.

I was the lone female, still shocked at the time spent sorting out pens whilst we were all 'patiently' waiting.... Successful though, so I'll let him off... Lol Congrats to all who passed today!
