Apparently they don’t ask our current employers etc for our references until we have started with Scotrail. I had emailed to update mine from my initial application.

Took me 8 days to find out I passed Mmi, I try to apply the no news is good news take. Hopefully you hear back soon.
Eternal pessamist me mate!
I feel you man haha, I’m typically the same until I have stuff in writing I assume the worst
Does anyone have any information on how to get in touch to arrange a visit to Perth depot? I can't find an address for it other than Perth train station. I have my DMI on Tuesday (found out this evening) and want to be prepared / show interest and pick up useful information.

If you can’t make arrangements just turn up to the depot. That’s exactly what I done and managed to get In, got lots of helpful advice/information from the DTM and also manage to speak with drivers highly recommend going.
I had a DMI last June 2024 , heard nothing till Friday (18/04/25) there saying I was unsuccessful but have been invited back for another DMI this Tuesday!! Only 4 days notice so don’t give up hope

If you hang about the very worn looking staff only door on platform 7 you'll usually find someone with time to help you.
Thank you!

Rather discriminatory is it not?
Not really no, it’s an informative session to raise awareness for women interested in a career in train driving. Would be discriminating if it was applications open to women only.

Ok
I just got an email to say my DMI is on Wednesday next week. I managed to pass my last on in 2019 however no job ended up coming of it after a time in the pool. I've got loads of examples/situations and research done and written down to revise with and feel comfortable enough with that aspect. Although if anyone has been to a DMI recently and has any pointers I'd be very grateful. Thank you!

can anyone confirm this about the disclosure who’s recently applied for 1.
Is it still a paper copy or digital?
I think the full disclosure system is changing.

I received a paper copy.
I did it online and forwarded the details to Matheus. They send a code through for him to access and download directly.
Hi Paul. Could I ask how you know this please as I’m in the same situation and have been nervously waiting for a medical date for 2 weeks. Cheers

Also has anyone got their final assessments/MMI coming up? I’ve downloaded the practice tests and still have 2 downloads left that I will pass on for free. DM me for the details…

You will soon discover that nothing moves quickly when it comes to Scotrail recruitment. Two weeks is nothing.
I applied in dec 2022 and didn't actually start until sept 2024.
Incidently, if anyone is after practise test books, I have the general tests and also the situational awareness test books from the How2Become range.
Sadly I discovered this a long time ago! I’m not expecting a date anytime soon but having the knowledge that I will definitely get a medical will help in the meantime. Cheers

Perfect mate that’s what a thought as I know it’s changed now.
