congrats - nice to have a date!

I've always used 0161 261 7594 which goes through to a HR-ish call centre, and if they can't help through looking at your records, then they log a query and HR are 'meant' to get back to you, via phone or email within 2 days.

I was ringing up very often too, and I'd advise you to do the same. With mine, I'd been waiting weeks for HR to supposedly liaise with a resourcer about some pre-employment checks, and it was only when I phoned up HR and pestered did the resourcer realise he had do the next stage of the...

Congratulations!

cheers Maxfly...hope I can make the March course then! carriageline - Ah it's a kinda relief to know that there are other people waiting to start the courses too, and I think you might be onto something with course starting every 13 weeks - makes sense to me. The vacancy was originally based...

Hi all, I hope you'll be able to help me regarding the Network Rail recruitment process and signalling school. I applied for a signaller role last August, and during the interview I was told that I'd have to attend signalling school in York in February 2015. So after getting the job, I...
