Hey u never know. Can't believe it's now two years since we applied for Metro! Time flies !

Not a sausage :-(

So if they recruited would people in the talent pool have to re-apply?

I think the question I would like a definite answer to is whether or not those in the current talent pool will be offered a position even if it's another couple of years away. It's the Doncaster assessment which lasts two years which is on my mind. How long could they potentially extend that...

Ummm not sounding promising is it? Still can but hope for a flurry of retirements. Hope its true that the 2 year assessment expiry will be extended. Had so many hopes on this, still hoping. As always thanks for any info. Much appreciated

Happy New Year to you too. I think they did three intakes last year which I realise doesn't mean they will do in 2016. Can but wait although my fingers and toes are starting to hurt a little as I've had them crossed a year now :D

Anyone who has received the call this time around huge congrats! Not heard anything myself, if I do though will post here. Good luck to everyone still on 'the list' :D

Still in the holding pool myself. It does sound as if they have enough drivers now. Dependant on leavers and retirements by the sounds of things

Ummm, I mix of good and bad news there. Great news that the two years cld be extended but bad that they will soon have all they need. This could be a long wait for something that may not happen :roll:

thanks modern and slow for your replies. I'll be gutted if I sit in the pool for two years and there isn't a position but I suppose Metro themselves don't know for sure how many drivers are going to retire and when. Yeah, i'm going to wait a bit longer then contact HR although I have a...

Still waiting in the pool myself slowtrain. Haven't heard anything at all since my last post. Does anyone know roughly how much notice is given prior to start date? Holding off booking things just in case I get the call. Fingers crossed the october starters will be contacted soon. Also...

Don't suppose anyone has heard anything? I have heard that those starting on the june intake have been told. That could mean the next intake is Oct time? I'm only putting two and two together, possibly getting five!

U must be so excited CGS, u have done really well to be in first intake. Let us know how training goes, good luck, hopefully be working alongside u sooner rather than later ??????

Congratulations CGS, hopefully I'll be starting later this year. Where did they send u for medical? Encouraging re driver numbers

Looks like Feb intake is now full, here's hoping for the next one. Good luck for Feb ☺
