Northern talent pool 2023

[skyhigh]

Just wondering if I get full new uniform allowance now

Unfortunately not. You keep what you already had if you're internal.

 

[InkyScrolls]

Have they given you a new medical date yet?

Not yet, no.

Nice one, congrats. I bet you can't wait to get started.
It's great being a guard, you'll love it.

I'll second that - driving has always been my long-term goal but if I'd stayed with conducting I'd've been content. It's an excellent job.

Anyone starting school at leeds tomorrow ?

Meant to say well done!!

Thank you! As it happens I've been shifted three weeks sooner; I'm starting on the 6th now. Just nine conductor shifts left!

You say that but I had my medical on the 19th of Oct and started training on the 6th of November.

Wow! I’ll keep my fingers crossed then

Any Guards waiting in talent pool here?
My wife has had an email today saying she’s been successful but no immediate start so is in a talent pool.

 

[LokiB]

Yeah, I start my course in January. Not sure if I'll be training in Leeds or Manchester yet though.

Nice one, congrats.
That's the same day I'm starting my driving course so I imagine there is going to be a corporate induction for us all.
A mate of mine is going to be on the conductor course with you as well.

 

[LeeH]

Thank you.
I’ll hopefully bump into you at some point.
I’m waiting to hear back from having my medical. It’s doing my head in I can’t stop thinking about it!
Is your mate on this forum?

I’m not in the pool, but have applied for the Driver position at Newcastle, just wondering if there were any Newcastle drivers in here

 

[Ell300]

I'm in for Newcastle and Darlington. No movement as yet. Checked the vacancies last night and both still open.

How long did it take between filling out the Form D - Life Changing Events Declaration and getting your offer?

It took about 2 weeks to here back from the medical so I'm sure you won't have to wait much longer.
Nah he's not on here.

 

[DJG193]

I'm waiting to hear back from the medical as well. To those who have heard, do they send you a final offer after your medical pass ? or do they just inform you of passing the medical, and wait untill they have got references etc? Waiting to inform work I'm leaving but obviously want the contract signed first.
