If it says application in process I believe you will still get an interview later on. That’s what I heard. If you were declined you would have been told by now.
What depot did you apply for? I wouldn't count yourself out just yet. If it's a depot no one's heard back from yet you might still have a chance as it does seem like I said that they're working through it depot by depot

It was a friend… and Birmingham. But people seem to have heard today. Says in process
On the phone they did say they’ve had over 2000 people apply just for Birmingham and had numerous interview days over about a week timeframe, I would expect it’ll still take a few days to get out to everyone who’s been successful

They should contact you soon then.
Hopefully I'm in no rush I know it's just a talent pool and there's heeps of applicants to get through.

I'm just glad it's changed status tbh, the most nerve racking bit is between applications and getting through to assessment/interview

I was told it was narrowed down to 10 interviews for 2 initial course places at Cambridge, looks like you've got your interview coming Plenty of info on here for your interview/assessment.

Some people from Birmingham have heard but I think there’s still more to be reached.
They had over 2000 applicants for Birmingham, so there's almost definitely more people to be reached out to. There's only so many hours in a day etc etc

Exciting times!!!

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==


Mine was a week or so ago.
I tried getting another week but I think they're only doing them that specific week so now I'm revolving work around it.

Fingers crossed for you that it goes well. Not done a driver manager interview yet
