ive had the same dear john posh! the lad who was on my assessment centre was invited back for another interview. passed it and has been put back on hold but with a similar tone to the emails we have received. Talk about raising hopes and expectations only to kick you in the teeth again. what...

I had my interview around the same time last year but havent received an email yet. From what you are saying though i think ill be expecting one. I mentioned in another thread a change of tone in correspondance i had with northern rail recently and them using the phrase a change in business...

That appears to be the case here. Bad timing is the story of my life. Different people are speaking to different people in HR and getting different answers though so you can never tell. I will probably get a call in about 3 years time when i least expect it

Ive been a cop for nearly 16 years. Seeing as our pension is now pay more in for longer for less return i think i might opt out and have a few extra quid in my pocket each month. The benefits of the old scheme are frozen and protected. Makes sense seeing as i plan to move on regardless. The...

I havent had a medical yet for Northern. Thats usually one of the last things so for you to have had yours you must have been really optimistic at the time. I think my depot managers interview was around May time last year so its now beyond tbe 9 months that Northern work towards. Its likely i...

Thats comforting to know. Ive seen vacancies for leeds advertised since ive been on hold but thought well im already there. Its just a case of waiting for the call. Where did you originally apply for??

no mate nothing. but i suppose no news is good news as the saying goes.

Thought id give HR a call this morning to see if there have been any developments on the trainee driver roles at Sheffield Unfortunately ive been told there is still no news and its as it was before More waiting and patience required guys

i served 2001-2004 at wood green.

id love to say yes geordie but its not the case im afraid it relates to my old shoulder number when i was a cop in london. YR being the lovely borough of Haringey containing such exotic locations as Wood Green and Tottenham

Hi gareth. I did all mine about that time too although my assessments were in doncaster. My friend waited around 12 months so theres hope yet knowing it appears pretty much the norm in the industry. What makes the wait worse is when your existing job sucks and you cant wait to politely tell them...

As we enter 2017 i was wondering if any other on hold candidates for trainee drivers at Sheffield have had any updates, heard any rumours or anything on the old grapevine? ive been in the talent pool since the summer and have heard nothing. A phone call to HR a couple of months ago did result...

which depot does this thread concern guys? im an on hold candidate for sheffield and still waiting to hear something cheers

Cheers Red. I know what you mean. I was rang at tea time one day and asked to attend an interview the next so had less than 24 hours to prepare. Guess I'll just have to try and stay optimistic & hope things progress before my application expires
