    Y2018/122 Driver Blackpool

    I have the same questions as Jon.

    Rail strategy game?

    It's a bit late now if you've already bought it before checking your spec. :lol: Hope it works for you. It should outline the required spec on either the website you've downloaded from or packaging if it's a physical copy.

    Cool. It's reassuring to know that it's across the board.

    Y2018/122 Driver Blackpool

    Three months now since I applied. No word at all from Northern regarding any progress, except around a month ago when I received an automated email about starting the sift. Sounds like it's not just me, but this really is becoming ridiculous. The position was for a September start, at this rate...

    Rail strategy game?

    Forgot to mention, Locomotion also adds a little more complexity in that it uses block signalling. Can mean that large terminal stations and junctions may need a bit of planning.

    Rail strategy game?

    No one mentioning Chris Sawyer's Locomotion? I picked it up on Steam for less than £10. It looks a little dated (same graphics style/engine as Rollercoaster Tycoon 1), but you can easily download free mods that add an enormous amount of British trains. Just Google locomotion mods and it's one...

    Y2018/122 Driver Blackpool

    I'm still waiting, I applied on 27th April. It's getting to the point soon where my current notice period isn't going to be sufficient if I was offered the position to start in September. I know Northern has a lot on it's plate, I finally received the email saying they've started the sift. But...

    Y2018/122 Driver Blackpool

    I emailed Northern a few days previous and received a reply saying they hadn't got round to looking at the Blackpool position yet, then a few days later received the email saying they are now sifting through the applications. It's been weeks upon weeks since I applied though, so I think they've...

    I've received it too. Good to know it's still in the pipeline.

    Y2018/122 Driver Blackpool

    I'm guessing there's still been no word on this position? I've not heard a thing, but I fully understand that Northern has a lot on at the mo. A position starting in September isn't going to be top of the list. Also... does anyone know how strict they are with the distance from depot? The ad...

    What is your controversial railway opinion/idea?

    Walked right into that one! Doh! :lol:

    What is your controversial railway opinion/idea?

    I hate Pendolino units. No matter where I sit, every single one I've been on smells like a blocked drain.

    Y2018/122 Driver Blackpool

    I applied for the Y2018/118 (the September start it says), I stumbled across this forum while trying to find info online about Northern's recruitment process. I was starting to get very worried that I applied nearly 6 weeks ago and hadn't heard anything, seeing as they say they will try to get...
