    Did you have a medical after? I'm not sure if the last medicals came just before the training suspension mentioned last week, so could still be bit of a wait for courses. That's the hardest thing to deal with at the moment, so chuffed to have passed, but with no knowledge of position in the...

    I asked that very question at the computer assessment though and was told the MMI was pass/fail and if you passed you were placed in the pool in order of date of MMI. Either the procedures have changed or I have been given duff information. I thought the MMI went really well, and was actually...

    I went into the talent pool at the beginning of September :s. I was told at the time your position in the talent pool was related to the date you went in. Not sure what to think now

    Congratulations John, out of interest, when did you initially apply for the job, and when did you go into the talent pool? I applied March and talent pool mid September. Cheers

    Yes, I initially applied in March 2020, but nothing happened for ages. I passed my DMI on the 3rd September and had confirmation on the 14th. I was told that you get called forward from the talent pool according to the date you went in and not on scores achieved at the DMI or assessment. No idea...

    As far as I am aware, they will offer you a position by a phone call, or email if they can not contact you by phone. You then have a conditional offer based on passing a medical. If you pass that you wait for a start date. They are aware that a lot of people need to give a months notice from...

    Congrats to you also. Yes it's a difficult one really, a situation that is still evolving. On the positive side they have kept the recruitment process running, when they could have delayed it, and hopefully a vaccine could be available soon. It will partly depend on how many people actually go...

    I passed the DMI at the beginning of September, from the March 2020 application. I asked about potential course start dates and was told the plan was to start a course every month in 2021. Not sure if covid will affect this mind, and I haven't found anything official to back this up, just word...

    I asked this very same question. I was told by recruitment at the assessment day that you were called from the talent pool in the order you go into it, and not on performance on the tests/interviews. I was told the only exception to anyone 'jumping the queue' was for internal applicants, where...

    No mate, a lot easier, you have the time between your paper assessment and MMI to prepare your answers

    TFW (Trainee Train Driver Cardiff and Chester_

    Whilst at the paper tests you should have been given a sheet of paper with 6 questions, asking you to describe certain criteria you have met. These are the questions you get asked at the MMI. You only write a few lines as a rough description, and you get questioned for a deeper understanding at...
