Got my uniform request form through yesterday, completed and returned. Just awaiting my joining instructions for the course on 2nd November, anybody else in same position. To those awaiting course dates in January and medicals keep hanging on in there as things appear to be moving along nicely now.

Glad it’s moving along for you mate. I had my medical last week and now just waiting for the contract to come through so I can resign in time for the January course. Do the contracts arrive via email or post out of interest?

That's good news bud, the contract info arrives via email with the job offer and salary details. There is a link to sign the contract electronically. Not long after that I received my guess pass for free LNER travel.

We'll no doubt cross paths then and be on the same course, you had any info on how the course will run? I heard mention of receiving iPads to do some of the training from home. Looking forward to meeting some of you at York for the training. You put your order in for socks and a wooly hat?

Anyone for London KX heard back?
I’ve not heard anything since passing the phone interview...
Nothing since 5th May when I was told I'd passed the phone interview. However, I haven't been able to find or get replacement copies of my exam certificates. I've emailed LNER 3 times to try and discuss but not heard anything so I'm assuming my application isn't going anywhere. Gutted if that's the case.

Fingers crossed for you buddy!
I’ve sent the certificates off but haven’t heard anything back so I guess they are holding off the London applicants for some reason...

Got my contract through today which has been signed and sent off - over the moon!

If anyone else is on the January course give me a shout

I'm on the January course, just waiting for contract to come through. Found out I passed the medical this week after a bit of a delay. Just need to contract so I can get my notice handed in at my current place.

I am starting to think I haven’t passed the teams interview if some of you are on the January course.
I thought January was the last course.
Congratulations to you guys though

Your joining instructions will detail dress codes in the event that you’ve not received your uniform prior to starting your training

Be smart enough for work and comfortable enough to learn in. As Id imagine peoples opinions on this would vary quite a bit which is why I asked the question but thanks...

I haven't got many pairs of pants or shirts ( wear a uniform in current employment ), was hoping to get away with smart jeans and a smart top but i don't know if that would cut it. I will wear smart pants and top on the first day to get a feel of what they expect.
