Unsure I think I was due to start in Jan but something has changed which has put it forward now to possibly April or beyond. You would have thought with me having a medical it would be pending me starting soon but that hasn’t been the case for me.

I just found out today that I’m in a holding pool until potentially April and even then there’s no guarantees. Gutted tbh!! I passed my medical the other week so I’m just waiting now for a start date. Hope it’s not too long!!

Ah mint so they got back to you then... Well done Anton

congrats Paul, I had my medical yesterday for the same role based in Manchester. I was thinking this tbh with all the press coverage on this very issue. I am inclined to think it won’t affect the workers so to speak. They still need to employ staff to get up and running with the 2000 extra...

Pretty sure you can go into your Deutsche Bahn account and take down your cover letter and change it.

I have been reading on the northern site about them offering a final salary pension. Is this information up to date and do they still offer new starters this kind of pension? Also can somebody explain to me how it works? I don’t currently have a pension and this is something that I very much...

I got my medical in the next few weeks so things are moving forward. It would just be a nightmare if they got stripped of the franchise before I signed on the dotted line and I had to go through the process of applying for jobs and interviewing all over again. I’m sure they will come good...

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/pacers-wont-leaving-greater-manchester-17064009 Have to say this is slightly concerning for me after passing the assessment and interview stage to become a conductor and applying for to northern for over a year to be so close...

I think they’ve just re used the previous ad and forgot to take the date out.

Since posting that I had a phone call today to say that they will be trying to aim for around November time either in Leeds or Manchester. Guess it’s just a waiting game.
