Due to start on the on the 27th March, pretty excited now, it's taken a good few months but I'm sure it's worth the wait. Can someone please post an example of the Conductor shift pattern, I'm sure this question has been asked before but can't seem to find anything. Thanks

Does anyone know if there is anywhere to park and lock a motorbike at Leeds station for staff? After training I intend on getting to work this way but don't like the thought of leaving my bike in the centre of Leeds.

Train1992 Do you know what the hours are during training? I think I have seen somewhere that it's 9-5 but is this for the full 3 months training? Thanks for all your info so far and sorry to keep hounding you with questions.

I was also put on hold in November and was contacted 2 weeks ago confirming the 27th March start date. I had to give my current employer 8 weeks notice so I asked to be made aware in plenty of time.

Cheers Train1992. Which depot are you based at if you don't mind me asking.

Does anyone know what the Salary is for a Trainee conductor at Northern? I'm sure I remember seeing it at around £19,000 but cant find the info anywhere and I haven't yet got my contract.

I had assessment day about 5-6 weeks ago in Leeds and had a medical last week. Received a call yesterday to confirm i'd passed the medical and that I was assigned to a course in March but they couldn't confirm the dates with it being so far in advance. Been told to sit tight and they will be in...

Has anyone from the recent recruitment drive in Leeds received a start date yet? I had my medical on Friday which was all good but no confirmed dates yet.

Cheers mate. It's Leeds I applied for, hopefully they'll have a course in Jan/Feb. I'm hoping having the medical is a good sign.

Ive recently passed the assessment day and need some advice. I was advised that they are no vacancies at the minute but hopefully roles should be available early 2017 - Jan/Feb. Does anyone if Jan/Feb is a likely date? Also could I be waiting for months to find I wont have a job at the end of...
