Not that I'm aware of. Its a health and safety policy which makes sense if someone has been driving trains at unsociable hours then to drive a long period to get home. Its too big a risk for any TOC essentially.

The fact they are contacting those already in the process suggest they are about to restart.

12 years in the police and left in November. Although train driver training has been stop start due to covid, I can see already that it is the correct move. The way that those in my TOC have been with us during it has been night and day compared to the police. I actually went back to see some...

Good luck to everyone starting next week. Its been a strange time to be going through a recruitment process. I look forward to meeting everyone.

Another with a start date for December. Absolutely delighted!

I'm waiting on a start date aswell. Looking forward to it!

Is there more issues with DI's in the West than in the East? Hopefully things pick up for you soon mate

Thanks mate! Wee messages like this make a huge difference to those patiently waiting.

Let it go mate

I really appreciate you coming forward and saying all this rather than people speculating under the guise of being told something by someone.

That's what I was told, hence why the next batch are now awaiting medicals etc. I wonder where Hiall received his information

Seems strange that the process is continuing with medicals for the trainee posts if there is no potential start date in sight

Medicals starting back up again which is good news.

That's good news. I was awaiting a date for my medical prior to covid. I think there was a few others in the same boat.

I imagine those of us waiting for a start, will be put back at least a good few months. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things. Health and wellbeing is the most Important thing just now. Can any of those currently in the driver training program provide a mn update?
