Hi, I had mine a few weeks back. Just to shed some light for you. The medical consists of a blood pressure check, colour blind test, sight test which as you suggested was the letters on a wall test, this is done with your glasses on (if required) and then a few minutes later without. They then check your BMI. Also there is a hearing test and drugs & alcohol test. They also go through any pre -existing conditions which may affect you working in a safety critical role. All in all about 30 minutes, nothing too strenuous and should be your final stage of recruitment before getting your start date. HTH

Hi Guys, I am just waiting on a medical before I get my role as conductor confirmed. What are the tests just urine test or do they take blood samples? Not a big fan of needles!!

Yes just urine for the drugs screening. Gets sent off and results take about a week. Although you won't be told anything unless you fail.
