It's what I was told over the phone so I went with it.

I've moved to Leighton buzzards now but it's still only 55 minutes away on Google maps.

I applied in Feb 15 and passed June time the same year. I was offered the 20th of March at Cricklewood over the phone. I snapped it up but my medical had expired so I had it today, and passed. Just waiting for the contract to come through now. I just want to sign on the dotted line so after...

Wow. Sounds very familiar! Also Nothing like explaining it over and over again to different work colleagues you only see every now and then. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Well I phoned not much to say (what a surprise!). I got told the lady dealing with it wasn't at her desk...

Will do.

Thanks. I'll try that number tomorrow.

Cheers, I've got my name down for Bedford and Hitchin. When Claire was about we had an email every couple of months, basically saying thanks for you patience and keep waiting. Although this was annoying it did give a little reassurance that we weren't forgotten about and there's still hope...

Has anybody heard anything about what's going on? I've tried calling a few times now, but the two numbers I did have do not work anymore! One doesn't connect and the other is constantly engaged. Have they just washed their hands of us? Been waiting a year and a half now.

No we didn't. If you read what Bucko, RedZed, and myself have written we didn't know we were applying to be in a talent pool. We thought we were applying for a job. We weren't told until after we passed everything. After a year and a half of waiting, expectation, only planning 4 weeks in...

Maybe somebody can correct me, unless I missed it the words "Talent Pool" we're never mentioned in the job application/advert back in February 2015 which I applied for. I thought I was applying for a job, and when I passed everything I assumed I'd be offered a job and start. Straight forward...

I phoned today and asked if I should be worried as I'm waiting for Bedford. I was told I'd be considered for other depots instead, and that they're undergoing a lot of changes so they couldn't tell me any more. I was told they'd let me know when they know but my confidence in this whole...

Has anyone contacted recruitment to see where we stand?

So not Luton then? It's hard to remain positive after holding out for so long.

Congratulations. Bet your really chuffed. Just out of interest are you an internal?
