Hi everyone.
Just catching up. I was interviewed for B’ham depot on 16/1. Received a phone call last Friday 9/2 to see at I’d passed the interview.
I was told I’ll receive further contact re the next stage (am I right in thinking that’ll be OPC?)
Does anyone know what further stages there are after that?

Good job on passing, a lot of us are still waiting for a phone call.

If you've passed it's standard OPC tests left as you've already done the DMI.

If you pass them then you'll do your medical, if passed you'll be in the talent pool

Thank you mate. Hope people start to hear soon, as others have said - even if it’s a negative phone call at least you’ll know.

Good luck to everyone still waiting!!

So did the person who rang you say they'd ring you whether it was positive or negative? Luckily you got a positive though!

Just hate being in limbo not knowing anything

Hi mate, no they didn’t but the two that interviewed me said I’d get a call either way.

Yeah exactly, been there before and it’s annoying not knowing isn’t it!

I’m in for Bristol and my status has changed today from ‘Application in process’ to ‘Assessment’. Anyone else in for Bristol may want to check.

Hiya mate, congratulations!

Was it the DM that interviewed you or the XC recruitment team that phoned you?

Just wondering as I had my interview last week.

Somewhere.
Was that at the interview? If June is the earliest that ain’t too bad.
Yes, that was at interview. Feb was the earliest and I'm guessing only filled with people with a shortish notice period, however, I have to give 12 weeks notice to my employer, so no good for me. June would be good for me!!
