    Northern conductor training

    Hi Peter From what I can gather, it depends on your distance from training centre. I read that a girl from the North East was put up Sun-Fri because training was in Bolton. Where you travelling too and from?

    Brilliant news. Any mention of free travel to and from Training (I guess it depends where in Leeds you're travelling from)? I'm coming from South Yorkshire so about 1hour on train.

    Hi Mike. Following your first few days of training, how do you feel? I start in April and would be really interested to hear your thoughts. I assume the first day or so is just getting to know the company or is it "full on?" Anyway, all the best :-)
