    No, not yet, only thing I noticed is change of date on my online account, so I assume they already received medical paperwork and lab tests.

    Gb railfreight trainee train driver west midlands

    I had my interview in March and medical 2 weeks ago, all process was surprisingly swift and relaxed. Medical went well, only thing I had to declare is blood pressure which is controlled by tablets, it is well within limits tho, so hopefully not something to disqualify me from driving.

    GWR Conductor job application
