I passed stage 2 + MMI in November 2019. This was via a talent pool application which seemed to be progressing steadily until Covid. I have contacted HR and they have just reiterated no plans to re-start recruitment until 2021. After this it depends which stations are allocated budgets first...

Dan 2610 - thanks for your earlier update on how the talent pool works, it sounds more realistic & positive than some people have explained. Mister N - I am in the same position awaiting a DMI however different depot of Plymouth. Hopefully an opportunity will eventually arise. If you have any...

It really does seem that the GWR talent pools are a lottery as to how long you are kept waiting. Shame as clearly a lot of people very keen to start. Guess the important thing now is to be patient & prepared to sit it out. Can anyone offer any advice on the DMI and what I could be studying in...

I'm awaiting a DMI after passing in Feb 2020 so looks like a different intake. Well done on passing your DMI

Good to hear from someone in the same pool. I don't fully understand how many sit in a talent pool at any given time however I am realistic about time frames and additional waiting due to Covid. I'm not expecting to hear anything until after the new fincial year in 2021. Looking at it as a...

Hi Guys, just thought I'd keep this thread alive and add some further content... Firstly well done for getting this far to all who are awaiting interviews/start dates... I'm currently waiting on a DMI for Plymouth with GWR. My accreditation for exams lasts until 2024, so hopefully I will...

Hi Guys & Girls... This is just a thread for those currently in the recruitment process for GWR Train Driver - Plymouth - awaiting a Driver Manager Interview. I'm aware that there are significant delays due to Covid with most TOC processes looking set for the new financial year of 2021. So...

Congratulations mate & well done

Well done on passing, not an easy process by far! Appears we are in the same boat. I have only heard that Driver recruitment is being prioritised into 2020 and that recruitment don't have any time frames yet (this was in December and on a reply from the guards recruitment team). If I here...

That's reassuring that you have been able to use the pass for an alternative TOC and bypass the earlier stages :) I'm sure you'll be fine. 10 days can feel like a long time but in the grand scheme of the entire process it's not long. Best of luck!

Hi Guys apologies to jump in here but only just found this thread. I received an email today saying I will be contacted in due course for a DMI with GWR. I'm in a talent pool for Plymouth and sat my stage 1,2, + MMI last week. Seems like there's some demand for this depot so let's see what...

Good luck with your DMI 1494 I received an email from first group today stating that they will be in touch with a DMI date in due course; I passed my stage 1,2, & MMI just last week. Lets see how long it takes... Best of luck with your interview

Hey guys, Congratulations to all who have passed it is a tough process so well done :) I have a question as I am slightly confused with my application status. Sat my exams last week for GWR driver talent pool (including the computer based tests) and was fortunate enough to get through...

Hi Craig Congratulations on your pass, What TOC did you apply for? Just curious as I also had a MMI last week. Currently waiting on a result.

Hi. I undertook the same TM process for Plymouth. Assessment/interview August followed by a phone call about 6 weeks later to say there were 9 vacancies and I had passed the process for an "on hold position". Here I am still waiting! I have maintained some contact with the recruitment...

Thank you for the replies! I'm gradually feeling a bit more comfortable with the TEA OCC practice material I'm looking at. As stated before OPC informed me the other elements were passed so I'm just praying I can perform on the day. It was less than a year ago I sat the stage 1 so some of...
