Congratulations matey ! :D Great Christmas present. Mine was getting my contract through last week. Don't worry if things take time to happen, they warned me at interview that they might and to be honest, they have - though that is not the same for everyone, it is just a timing thing...

Hi Sorry I have been a while getting back to you, I have been away seeing family before Christmas - and no computer access !!! Got my contract just before I went away - just need to complete all the forms and post it back tomorrow. Saw on the thread that you have had yours too. Not long now...

Crikey - not sure if I am jealous or glad I didn't have to do that bit, LOL All I knows that it is 2 weeks 'intensive' classroom training-by all accounts, heavy going, but they do all they can to help you, and (I quote, from the interview) we are only there because 'our assessment day tests...

Crikey - that was nice and speedy - looks like I just hit bad luck with timings then. I also start on 23rd January - we will be trainees together. Did I read that right that you got to drive on the assessment day ? We didn't do that when I did mine back in August. We did the climb on and off...

Nice one matey, well done !!! Next stop is your start date (hmm, that makes no sense at all, but you get what I mean - I hope ! :oops:) Contract hasn't arrived yet, but I called them yesterday and they have said I should get it by the weekend (or Monday !!) - I'll be honest, the wait has...

I posted a reply earlier (about dress code & footwear), but it hasn't appeared yet, this one may do the same, so sorry if the information is too late and out of context... RRV's explanation about the maths and English tests is far better than I would have explained it, and it really is...

I wore a shirt and tie and 'suit' trousers - I am old school and can't help but stick with the old 'never get a second chance to make a first impression' addage, though as RRV Pilot says, other people were in jeans and tee-shirts and some had clearly come straight from other jobs. Most...

It was about a week or so later - in fact, I called them to ask ! The lady at Healthworks (who is really friendly and makes you feel very relaxed and calm about the whole process) actually told me that I had passed the medical at the end, so I wasn't concerned - just impatient, LOL. I am...

Sorry for the slow response, only just saw your message. It is with a company called "HEALTH WORK" 16 St Johns Street Manchester format is :- little chat concerning your med questionnaire, then blood pressure, height, weight, then eyesight test, colourblindness test, then hearing test and...

Don't know if this will help or not... I did my assessment day in August. Time had run over, so interviews were done a couple of weeks later. To any candidates, by way of assistance, all I can say is that all the staff at Metrolink were fantastic - really supportive, really encouraging, really...
