Well done to you guys successful in your re-interview. I've been in the pool same time as most you guys but still awaiting my re-interview. Is the interview the full works again like first time around? Hopefully you guys can get on that January course by the sounds of it!!

We went through exact same time then. I'm 2015 candidate and did my medical end of July 2016. I feel your pain mate.. Those that are having their DMI's for the second time this week, without going into detail, is it the full shabang like last time, or less formal more of a "reacquainting" so to...

I've not had an email for these October DM's. I'm 2015 candidate for worcester talent pool, so also got to redo my DMI. What depots are those of you going for DMI?

Just out of interest, what is the status of your application on the career portal? Mine says "Offer". I'm one of the guys in the pool from the July 2016 medical.

When/If you hear back from HR, would you kindly update on what the word is. I've been in the talent pool since July 2016, so I've been quite anxious about how this franchise change will effect "talent pool folk". The majority of what I've heard seems positive though.

Is there many more of you out there who find yourself in my position it would be interesting to know? Hi, I'm a Worcester candidate in the same position. I passed my medical in July 2016. I also called up and was told no courses for Worcester until 2018. My 12months since DMI elapsed in...

Hi all, With Labours manisfesto stating they'd look to take rail franchises back into public hands if they win the general election, I wanted to know people's thoughts on how that would effect driver/staff pay, pension and working practices if British Rail was brought back? Anyone previously...

Got my confirmation email also. I had already passed assessments with London Midland last year. So gone straight to interview this time. 8th May. Good luck everyone!!

Yeah she took my name. But I just think it depends on who answers the phone. Hopefully I'll hear something soon!

I am in the same position as yourself. Passed both assessments last year, I'm actually in the talent pool for another TOC, and I haven't yet heard from Chiltern. However I called them today and they weren't as helpful as they were for yourself. I was told they will contact me in due course as...

I'm in the same situation. Completed my medical in July, and just waiting for a course start date. I last spoke to HR in September and was told to expect contact shortly after the new year. It is concerning to hear that no course dates are pencilled in yet though. Perhaps they are waiting till...

Did they give any indication that they would be forthcoming with course dates early in the new year? I've been wondering whether they will hold off on any further courses until the franchise renewal is awarded..thoughts? I called them in September and HR said they were actively working on dates...

I also applied August 2015, completed medical at the end of July 2016. So just waiting for a start date. I applied for Worcester though.

Anyone who had their medical around 26th July still waiting to hear about course dates?

Had it confirmed yesterday that my drug came back clean as expected. No start date yet. I'm going for Worcester, so maybe not as much need for drivers on courses as there is for Birmingham depots. So it's just a waiting game now.. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- What stage...

Thanks Dan....patience is the key then!!

Congrats to those that have made it on to the September course!! Anyone still waiting on drug test results?? I called today and they still haven't had mine back. Told me to call again tomorrow....

Thanks Chloe! Got mine today. Fingers crossed

I received my letter regarding medical on Thursday also. My medical date is 26th July. I'm going for Worcester depot.

Hi, I am an applicant for a trainee driver role with London Midland. I have currently passed both assessments and driver manager interview. And I am only awaiting the medical. I've woken up this morning to the news Britain is leaving the EU, and so my first thought is "how will this affect...
