Update. Heard nothing in the end.

I emailed on Wednesday. Nothing back as yet.

It could be that. The Verbal Reasoning test had to be done by yesterday, and there was a safety critical test, to be done by today. I've done them seeing as it was Bank Holiday Weekend. Thanks for your response, on this. I did attend an event in 2019, but the assessment part was cancelled. I...

I am a bit confused here. I submitted an Application for Senior Conductor with EMR for the Lincoln Depot. I received instructions for 2 online Assessments on Saturday. Yesterday, I received an email to say I have been shortlisted, before I have even taken the tests. One is verbal reasoning...

Thank you. I had wondered as I know of someone who is a driver at Sheffield Depot for Northern.

I was on a Late evening Sheffield to Lincoln Service in 1986, travelling on a First Generation DMU. As The train had left Shireoaks, the train was passing under the bridge, of the newly built Worksop By-pass, which had not yet opened. A There was an almighty smash of glass, as a brick had been...

I was wondering, if there was still a Conductor's Depot at Sheffield for Northern Rail? I applied to Northern Rail 3 years ago, as I am a Southeastern Conductor. Got rejected, but Sheffield was my preferred choice.

First week in November I am looking at. @SEZDAN1982. What Depot are you down for?

I thought I would give some advice to you people who want a career on the Railway Industry. Don't give up trying. I left school 32 years ago, have tried since then to gain employment within the industry. Before the internet came about, it seemed you either looked in the Newspapers for...

Well I had my medical yesterday. Everything went well. The nurse told me I was passed as fit for duty. I am just waiting on the results of the urine sample, which I know will be fine, as I have not drunk any alcohol in the last 3 weeks, nor taken any medicine including over the counter ones. So...
