Network Rail haven't over recruited last year, they have just chronically under recruited year after year which has left the workforce stretched very thin, and they have relied on overtime to cover the shortfall. The issue is that from a vacancy becoming available, the process from then, through...

No worries I'll give them a chase up on Monday I think. Onboarding have already acknowledged my start date as well as my manager, I'm just worried that they'll book the tickets from the nearest station to my current address which is due to change in a few days time as I'm moving.
