Wow - tsr !!! What can I say other than thank you. That's a wonderful response to my thread and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your words. Really looking forwards to my start date in a few weeks.

Hi Louie - my training programme starts on Monday 18th April, i think ive read you start on Monday 4th April so you will be a few weeks ahead of me. Very best of luck to you.

Thanks guys , some very reassuring words from you all. Once again many comments saying such as "it's a great job you will never look back" and "best job I have ever had", it's exactly comments like that which drew me to applying. Really looking forwards to it and thank you all for your...

Cool - well the very best of luck to you mate and I will see you on the 18th April, for the start of our new career!

Ok no worries mate - what job are you currently in, will you also be new to the railways?

Are you able to send private messages welshph and I will give you a lot more details. Currently I work for the Council and have done so for the past 17 years, I deal a lot with customers, although working in the rail industry will be totally new for me.

Thanks for the contact Dom. I still haven't heard anything so being realistic it might not be this time. I have dropped Northern an email so will await and see. Best Wishes --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Hi All - Quick update to try and help others understand the...

Yea - I thought that was the case. Currently I haven't had an email either way to say if successful or unsuccessful. Any idea if there is a specific number I can contact to check my applications status? Thanks QUOTE=Dom.1990;2447872]Nick they normally send out an email if you've been...
