Alrighty!
Looks like I got another update regarding the “reserve list”
As per my last correspondence regarding your placement on our reserve list for the role of Trainee Driver, this email is to serve as further knowledge and reassurance concerning your ongoing application.
It will be approximately April 2026 through to 2027, that we will be looking to contact you regarding your placement in future courses that align with respective tractions. Should a slot come up before this time, we will let you know and arrange if you are in the position to continue.

Have you passed all the testing and interviews already?
I take it no one's heard back from 1st assessment days done last week? Had mine's on Friday, said it would take roughly a week to hear back but thought it could be into next week anyways with the amount of assessment days they are having.

That standard was relaxed earlier this year. It's in the medicals and assessment thread somewhere but if you fail the Ishihara you should be sent for a CAD test to determine the severity of your colour deficiency. I believe the tolerance is 3.05 CADs.
Good morning folks, is there anyone going tomorrow for assessment I’m booked for 1pm

Hi does anyone know how long it takes to hear back from the 2 to 1 interview at depot? Sorry if this has already been asked.

It’s different for people tbh, I personally waited 5 days but other people wait weeks/months.
The email came the next day (met the standard), but it seems everyone’s experiences are very different

I’m giving this a wee bump incase anyone has heard anything regarding timescales? It’s a great feeling knowing that you’ve pass all the assessments and interviews and will be starting a new career, however it’s also frustrating having no idea when they’re going to come for you!

Hi Joel - can you advise on the MMI. Does this happen after the invite to Glasgow for the classroom tests?
I am awaiting the next stage having passed the classroom element but not sure what comes next?
Hoping you can advise? Its been two weeks since I got notification of passing the last stage.
I am applying for a role in Motherwell.

Can’t put a time on it tbh, some people get a quick turnaround some don’t. Everyone’s journey is different and unique to them. Good luck.
