K.Milne where have you gone from Facebook? Wanted to say the real Flying Scotsman is travelling from Kings Cross to York tomorrow. Don't think I will see it....
Hi,
I shadowed for 3 weeks too but thought that was because of Christmas. I generally work lates, but have done a few earlies. I prefer lates though. I felt stressed too when I started shadowing just take it at your own pace and learn from your mistakes. Everybody is helpful. So will...
Hi Vixen,
Do you start shadowing next week? If so enjoy every minute of it. I have now completed 2 months onboard and it is brilliant. I've not done 1 week under 40 hours and there is loads of work for everyone. Everyone is really friendly and will help you with anything you need to know...
Well I have got a permanent part time contract. I wanted full time but she said there is always overtime to make my hours up to full time. My only drawback is that I have to work every weekend. There is another girl who has come in on temporary but it is more than likely that will become...
Keep trying I rang mine and there was no answer, but she rang me straight back. The other thing is they respond to text messages. And definitely do it cos it is worth it.
Hi yes I am on Facebook Emma Swatton York. Did they email you your medical appointment information or did they send it to you in the post? I'm so excited cannot wait to hand my notice in for my current job. See you soon. Emma xxx
Aw Kmilne you will be on the same course as me subject to medical. I rang today and she offered me a position with a start date of the 30th November. Really excited

And KDouglass great we will be together. Should be a big group
That's brilliant Kdouglass. Meg have you started yet how is it going? So I've been away this weekend and have a missed call when I checked voicemail tonight from the Manager asking me to call her. She rang me Saturday so hope she has not offered the position to anyone else as I shall be...
I'm sure it will all be fine. I'm just sick of waiting. When I stop thinking about the job thats probably when they will ring. Have you handed your notice in yet?
That's great news Meg. I have not heard anything yet but will keep hanging in there. When they rang you was it a Leeds number or an unknown number? cos I never answer those!!! How did your medical go? Wish we could've started together. Good luck anyway
Hi Meg,
Yes I received that email too. I feel a bit more relaxed about it all now and am hoping we hear something before September. Just want to start now
Hi,
Did they ring you first or just send you the welcome pack? I would like a full time permanent position but if they offer me a temporary position I don't think I would take it as would feel insecure. A lot of places do that noiw to make sure they are taking on the right people.
