Well that's a nice early Christmas present... contract, learning contract, joining instructions and a rail warrant through the post today. :D Has everyone else had that too? Looks like there'll be 10 of us staying in knottingley from the 5th.

I've had the same phone call today too.... and Phew too!! The contract and other things are going out by special delivery apparently so it'll be here this week :) Under 3 weeks to go... can't wait!! :D

That's good to know mate. I had wondered about that but also tried calling on Friday so just returned everything that was there. To your question a few posts back. I'm in the centre of Manchester so yep, lift sharing once we know what's going on with the training could be an idea :)

I'm for Knottingley! So nice to find it sat on my doormat when I got home... Roll on January :)

It's all getting very exciting isn't it! I didn't get a phone call but caved in and called them. She confirmed the paperwork is in the post today :) Big relief as I was starting to think I wouldn't have a job in 4 weeks! Lol

I think the new pay deal takes the basic salary to just over £25k.

No, but my current employment contract stipulated a 3 month notice period! Luckily they waived that to the 7 weeks :) And happily everything went well with the medical. Phew! They haven't stated where the training will be yet.

I'm getting a bit nervous for my medical my tomorrow now, not that there's any reason to as I know it'll all come back fine. It's just having to tell my employer and hand my notice in already, because of my notice period, it's a bit nerve racking! Has everyone had any paperwork through then? Oh...

Congratulations as well mate. It was good to meet you yesterday... I hope you got back ok on the M62! I passed as well (after what felt like a very long wait for that last interview slot!) so that makes 5 of us passed from yesterday :)

There's that many applicatants that it could easily be 4 or 5 weeks before you hear back, especially if you are successful as you'll need to be allocated to an assessment day. Just keep being patient, even if it does feel like a loooong time :)

Well that one wasn't with Jeff, but yes. Just the other 6 exams and 11 weeks to go through now :wink: That's right.

Cheers! I'm on that course! :lol:

Didn't someone say wait 6 months after assessments? lol I know there were a considerable number of applicants this time round - up on the last round - so it's possible they might be trying fresh candidates first. Afterall, I wouldn't have thought those assessment days are too cheap to run...

When I applied in the last round I made sure I covered skills, experience and qualities. It is a lot to try and cram in so you'll have to group them up a bit to fit it in the word count! I'm 99% sure that you need a Cat B (car) driving licence to operate a tram on the street (in fact I'm...

This popped up on North West Today earlier. The guard has now appeared at magistrates and the case refferred to the crown court for the 8th March...
