I was driving over Shap when this got announced.
I drive it 3 times a week, and let me tell you this morning's wind and rain on Sshap was wild.
At Penrith and Kendal the wind was moderate but coming over the top the rain was very, very heavy and the wind sock it's been a few months since...
As above
Its a assessment day and interview in afternoon
Then if successful psychometric tests followed by interview (which sounds like is on a different day now )
People are getting confused with assessment days and the physometrics tests
I thought Northern it was
Telephone interview
Assessment day tasks if pass followed by mmi interview
Then psychometric tests if passed same day dmi interview
Northern have a vacancy for Maintenance depot driver at Barrow in furness.
I thought Northern depot drivers are just at there train care centres like heaton or Newton heath…
Looks like this is a LMD light maintenance depot advert
Shunting trains and keeping them moving within the TrainCare...
Freightliner are advertising Heavy haul drivers for Mossend depot
But it does not say if its experienced (qualified) drivers or anyone (trainee) ….?

Thanks for the info
I have a interview and the new style assessment day next week for Northern
As it would be a Dmi - Am I correct that this is the depot Manager with a individual also from Northern HR who conduct this?
Or is a Dmi a manager who does not work that specific depot
I know alot of...
So the first one with Northern is the mmi (competency and situational based questions)
If you pass that stage
The second one on the same day as the psychometrics is the dmi ?
great info
so if its forced overtime how many times a month are allocated?
Whats common every sunday or just mostly one a month?
Assuming normal guard service too
I know Northerns rest days were fixed mon/tues week 1
Wed/thurs week 2
Fri/sat week 3 etc..
Thanks
So a northern driver advertised 4 day week/35 hr week is not included in that or the salary
Overtime on the sunday which is committed is classed as overtime and would be in addition to the salary they are offering
So really the 62k salary is more than 70k when sundays are factored in
What about northern west depots
it was Sunday (outside voluntary) ?
but have things changed last few years with sunday services; Is it now sunday commited or inside?
