    Network rail application status

    Rubbish. I feel sorry for you, I’ve been in the same position, but in a different industry.

    That’d be awesome, I’m an external applicant.

    Just Had The Call, Accepted At GWR

    Cool! My medical is booked for the 9th, with a view to starting mid to late July. Sent the DBS forms off yesterday (even though I have a current, valid one from my previous job) Glad to know I won’t be the only noobie!

    dB apprenticeship trainee drivers

    Had this one this morning (applied for Didcot). I’m going to see what happens, but I’m lucky to have an offer from GWR

    Just Had The Call, Accepted At GWR

    I’ve not applied for a mainline job. It’s for a shunter position, or manoeuvrer, as they call it.

    Just Had The Call, Accepted At GWR

    I applied at Reading. Had the MMI and DMI on Thursday, got the call whilst on the school run yesterday.

    Just Had The Call, Accepted At GWR

    As above. Despite thinking I’d ballsed up the DMI, had the call today with a conditional offer at GWR! Just the medical and all the other stuff to get sorted..

    Freightliner online tests

    Might be worth it. Most of the questions were very similar to the MMI, but much less formal. A bit of knowledge about the company would probably help no end. Good luck!

    Freightliner online tests

    Hard to tell. I was happy with the MMI, and the lady was lovely. Then I went pretty much straight into the DMI. Which I didn’t know I was doing. Started well, but they asked me some questions about the company, which because I hadn’t prepared, I couldn’t really answer. I admitted as much...

    Freightliner online tests

    I’ve decided not to do them, although the cut off is this evening because I had my MMI and DMI today...

    Freightliner online tests

    Although I can’t answer your question, I was just about to ask the same! I’ve just received the same email. But, I’ve just passed my stage 1 with GWR and don’t want to cause problems for myself.

    Looking for a change to the railway but worried about age

    I don’t think they are allowed to take age into account, but I’m sure someone may well correct me. I’m just going through the process now, and I’m 40. I guess as long as you pass the assessments and the medical (which being in the fire service, you should be ok) you have as much chance as...

    Stage 2 Assessment

    The email even says I will be doing the SJE and then the MMI. But I did SJE as part of stage 1, and the assessor did say it was part of stage 2?? It’s just got me a bit confused, I’m not overly concerned. I’ll concentrate on the MMI and take whatever comes I guess.

    Stage 2 Assessment

    Thanks! I received the email invitation this morning, but the attached guides are the same as for the stage 1?

    Stage 2 Assessment

    Hi there, I’m new here. I passed my stage 1 yesterday, and I’m onto the stage 2. I’ve read about the interview stage, but am struggling to find any info on the computer part. I haven’t applied for a mainline post, but as a manoeuvrer with GWR based in Reading.
