Is anyone starting at Old Oak Common in August?

Pros and cons to all. I'd always pick Thameslink over GN but that's me. Cricklewood signs more routes, has more opportunity to do prep and other little things within a sidings that St Albans drivers may not get to do quite as much. Cricklewood has a larger depot. Both have a friendly enough set...

Hi all, would anyone happen to know the shift pattern for Marston Vale box? I'm trying to ascertain how many days in a row worked, rest days, etc. I've tried the search function but only found a little info from a couple of years ago that may not be relevant anymore.

This!

Cricklewood sign Bedford to Blackfriars, London Bridge HL and LL, Orpington, St Pancras HL, Sutton Loop and various diversionary routes

Yep I applied back in Feb 2015 and had passed all tests up to the medical by about June . I had to have another medical about a month ago

Anyone know where us cricklewood trainees will be based at for training after the initial week at Kentish Town?

Yep pending medical, must not last that long which I guess makes sense as anything could happen in that time. Just waiting for a date for that and hopefully will get a date that isn't then taken away again! Thanks for the congrats by the way :)

So after being in the good old talent pool since 2015 , doing a medical the same year and being offered a date nearly 8 months later only to have it retracted a few days later I am somewhat hesitant to celebrate being offered a trainee drivers position at cricklewood for March pending a medical...

I can only speculate really I guess if it was a problem to do with bieng based at kings cross it would make no sense to take me out only to wait for the same place? Anyway it is what it is I guess. But yer Feb, March, April full and I know that because I specifically asked before I knew I was...

I also got my date retracted, on digging a little deeper with my questions I found that the manager had gone through the applications and decided That they thought I would have difficulty getting to late turns at hornsey. Yes hornsey not Kings X . Sounds to me they are thinking of turning it...

Yep the same :) Hornsey is where the classroom based stuff is done, kings cross will be your depot

So I just got a call for a Feb29th start date for Kings Cross. Good luck to everyone still waiting. And I'm sure I will get asked so I applied in Feb 2015, Medical in June 2015. Been a long wait :)

Applied for Blackfriars but got told I would be kings X. Not entirely sure any course for Blackfriars is planned?

I don't think anyone has, but I'm not sure. I assume they would have posted an update if they had?
