Totally agree. One of the best interviews/ers I've ever had. I'm starting on the 16th too, will see some of you Monday:D

Thanks folks. They want to set off on an early train on Saturday morning, probably about 7am. Looks like it shouldn't be a problem

A friend of mine wants to go with 3 friends, all with their bikes, from Leeds to Morecambe and then cycle home. I have something in my mind saying that only 2 cycles are allowed per train, especially on the Northern train that they will be on. 1. Is this correct? and 2. If so how could...

I did them too. Needed a relax this afternoon.

I too got an e-mail today after a week. Maybe getting through the mountain of applications they probably got. Good luck people

I sent mine as pdf but had no response. Sent off last Monday. Just going to see if they get back before the 27th and if not just drop them an e-mail to make sure they have it

I put no on the relocation. But I know I wouldn't have got it as I answered the questions in about 2 mins. Thought there must have been more on the second page having 15mins then was going to check back through. I knew I made a mistake on one but thought I'd go back after answering the second...

It's not a case of them being vital, I've researched a lot into driving for passenger trains and the shifts fit in perfectly for my lifestyle. But if there's nights and a majority of weekends then I would have to pass this time. Likewise, if it's only a 50-50 split then that would be fine, you...

If anyone knows this answer that would be really helpful. I don't mind working some evenings/nights and weekends, but if it's mainly those times I'd have to pass with having a young family and not seeing the kids. Cheers

Good luck. What school? I'm at Cardinal Heenan and looking to switch to the railway industry too.

It was only up for a day. Didn't get sent out on the alert. Was a Sunday too. Luckily for me I started filling in the application in straight away. The next day I was out enjoying the sun with the family and they emailed saying it was closing at midnight, but of a rush to do it tbh

That bodes well, it's where I currently am and where I'm aiming for

Thanks. Though I can't see any sort of phone number so I've emailed them

Not heard back either way yet. Is this normal? Or do they maybe interview some and see if they're suitable and work their way down the list so to speak?
