Does anyone know how different an Azuma train might be to drive compared to other trains? Reason I ask is that I have read the Azuma's won't be operating until 2018, and if they are different do you think this role would a) include training for and driving other trains first and then...

Thanks for the update, I was on the verge of calling too.

I'd have to pay off the final four weeks, so effectively not get paid for the four weeks notice I work. It would be a struggle but I'd make it work somehow.

I'm hoping that if I'm lucky enough to be successful, the start date will be put back. I have to give eight weeks notice, so I could be put in a difficult position if the start date stays at 4th April.

This echoes what I was told at my interview for York. Even so, I was hoping it would be more like the below: Does anybody know if the planned start date is still 4th April?

I sat Stage 2 assessments on Friday 15th and still waiting to hear whether I've passed or failed. I'll let you know when I hear anything. P.S. Thanks to all for the useful information in this thread, it's really helped with the whole application process.
