I believe depot drivers only do part of the train drivers course, so to progress onto mainline driving I think you would have to do all or the part of the course you didn't do the first time.

I'm not entirely sure, for me a applied for a MDD role at Northern just over 3 years ago and was invited to the assessments which I passed (the position had already be filled but they wanted me to do the assessments anyway incase any more roles came up in 2017). I have applied for the same...

Thank you PH89 for the reply, just got back from the test centre, next stage is the interview. I feel that I did well in the test as it helps to have experience in engineering. Just got to wait to hear back from them if I have an interview, there was meant to be 7 people to turn up but only...

Hi all, I have been invited to the test/interview day for the engineering apprenticeship with Northern at their Neville Hill depot. I was wondering if any of you may have been through this process or if anyone may have any hints that may help me. The date is for this Wednesday the 20th of...
