I emailed Trudy my uniform list, and go her out of office. Shes back in on Mon 22nd, so guessing we'll hear soon! A friend is a driver trainer for GTR, and has told me that our training will be at the Aaroa Hotel in Crawley (just by crawly train station), due to there being no space at the...

Good old Southern!! I'm gonna have a look at a couple of different routes to Kentish Town, just to be on the safe side. Yeah, I noticed that the salary had gone up too. Very pleased with that! Being able to get the spouse train pass straight away will also save us some money. Think I might...

Hi, Sorry - been away for a few days and just catching up with everything! Sounds like they've told us all the same. I called Trudy re lack of contract, and she said they were trying to chase BUPA up for the medical paperwork. Yep, I'm also starting on the 19th at Kentish Town. Handed my...

I'm starting 19th now too. Just handed my notice in - so all very real now! Guess I'll be seeing you at Kentish Town :D

Hi Andrew, Was just wondering if you had got your contract through yet? Cheers, Spud

See you in 3 months! :D

Thank you! Relatively short wait (11 months) compared to others. Apparently my contract will be posted today, so will feel very real once I have it in my hand.

Thanks for the update Pepperami. As someone who is waiting for Bridges and has passed everything, including my medical, this is great news.

Anyone else waiting for Bridges get an email yesterday? No course dates at present & will be in contact within the next 3 months...

I'm waiting for Three Bridges - anyone else?

I emailed Trudy about a couple of things, and asked about Three Bridges. All she could tell me was that there will be dates later on in the year. Couldn't give me an indication when, so life will remain on hold!

I live 10min walk from my chosen depot, and there's a few people on this thread who were on the same assessment days as me, and have started training. I honestly don't think distance makes a difference with start dates. Anyway....lets hope we get some calls today. Happy Friday!
