Thanks for your advice mate. Can echo what Sunday Morning said regarding aging 10 years throughout this recruitment process.. Looking forward to starting the course now.

Victoria for me too :) Thank you for the advice Silv, glad I raised the question now. Will take the train (or bus..) on day one to be sure. Did your uniform arrive to your home address prior to starting, or did you collect during training? Thanks again, T

See you there mate :D

Hi All, I will shortly be commencing training at Bolton and would like to ask if there is sufficient parking available at the station yard car park (would hate to be late on the first day..) Alternatively is there staff parking available at Horwich Parkway, as I know the car parks are full...

Congratulations Mr Double! Just checked my email too, and also have been invited for the next round of testing on the 8th :) Fantastic news :D Time and location TBC.. Hopefully not far from Manchester/Bolton

Also waiting Pennine - Applied for Manchester, still with 'Awaiting Shortlisting' status.

Hi All, This thread has gone rather quiet, and like many others I'm still waiting on a response to my application (either positive or negative) Could somebody please PM me the dates which were in the original role description (application closing date, assessment dates etc..) Many Thanks in...
