Yes i did notice that on week 1 there is bo mention of anything happening on the friday. May be a one off that might not have to do anything on the friday. We are booked into hotel every sunday evening and from week 2 onwards we would train 5 days a week, so doubt the day in lieu would be a...

Yes all getting very close now and shall be good to put faces to names on sunday. I am going to drive as we shall be issued all ppe/uniform and rule books and i dont fancy taking all that back on a train. Plus be good get feel for place and saves hassle of taxis between hotel and training...

Yes there will be a few of us which will be good. Still undecided as to do i drive or use warrant, might be a lot of stuff to cart back on the train the first week. I take it we will be issued our uniform/ppe on day 1 as it states dress code for induction day. I would imagine once training...

Yes same thoughts as you mate, looks to be we shall get issued with all ppe and uniform the first week so do not fancy dragging that all home by train. Who is training at Toton then?

I also spoke to my manager today and also heard nothing with regards to a reference. Not sure when we will receive actual contract through the post?? DBS received the offer of employment as well all the other requested documents last Monday so not sure what happens or when we will receive...

Hi mate, ahh fair enough i will just leave blank i think. Shall be seeing you in Toton on the 6th :) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Yes i completely forgot about the learning contract agreement which had been mentioned. I believe the 3 page document is pretty much your...

Right so to confirm you have to leave address bit blank on both ppe and driver clothing forms? Think i will go for cargo as as someone said above probably be alot more comfy and movement friendly :) --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Sure we will meet at some stage along the...

Yes all received today :) few questions, delivery address for ppe and drivers uniform? Should prob ask Lindsay for this as well as requisition number i guess. Also whats the difference between standard and alternative trousers? Looking forward to putting faces to names in Toton on the 6th :)

It depends between companies really, when i got my first pts 12 years ago there was no blue hat scheme however general time for lookout is 6 months experience then coss 12 months. But this can vary really, like all the competencies each course is more apparent the more experience you have

Yes also had call this afternoon saying its all being sent out tonight and asked if could return it preferably no later than monday. She never stated about uniform and ppe just asked for it all to be returned asap :) Yes also looking forward to starting now, i am working on track renewals...

Congrats mate, i was told either wembley or doncaster for training at my interview but could change. I know start is 6th January so wonder if we would be at Toton as well?

Congratulations mate, i had my medical yesterday and passed, pending screening results which will be fine. All the best for Tuesday :D
