True. It would be nice to see them once DRS have finished with them.

Yes, they didn't look good.

I saw those two going up the M1. An interesting and different, albeit sad sight.

Beveridges - By private, do you mean you paid for, and arranged it yourself? Then applied again with Northern? (Planning for the future! Like you, I want to work at Neville Hill!)

I have applied for the above position at the Freightliner maintenance depot in Leeds. Does anyone on here work there, who could give me a little more info on the position, and the company/depot? There isn't that much detail in the job advert, and more knwledge is never a bad thing! Thanks

It does seem odd, to pass, but not enough. It would make more sense to me to move the cut off higher and just have pass/fail.

How is it treated officially though? In the eyes of other TOCs et al? Like you say, I haven't failed anything, but also haven't completed a full driver assessment? I'm fine with only having one chance left, but it does seem I'm in a strange 'limbo'. Slippery - sorry, I think I was in...

DTG is the reactions test. I was fast enough, but not accurate enough. Too many mistakes. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Yes I have heard this. I'll try again in six months though the next time another MDD job comes up. Neville Hill will be my workplace!

Gutted. After 18 months of trying to get this far, I failed my first attempt at the driver assessments today. I had already passed the Group Bourdon, mechanical aptitude, and TRP last week. I had the DTG and CBI today. I got a borderline pass on the DTG. Northern don't accept this, so I...

Which number did you use to contact them? I am still waiting confirmation of the venue for my assessments.

Do not go to the Snooty fox. It is a horrible stinking dive! For good beer Fernandes is probably the closest good pub to the station. EDIT - Just realised about the opening times. Henry Boons or The Hop.

Is anyone else awaiting an assessment date for the MDD position at Neville Hill? I had the interview on 27th June and my application is now saying 'Talent Pool'

Which position is this for?

I haven't even had the yes or no for the stage before the interview yet. Needless to say I have given up on it now. I assume they have just forgot to contact me.

Oh. I should probably give them a ring then.
