It was with Northern for a Conductor role. Passed the interview before the assessments. Have just applied for another for Piccadilly so will see how this goes. Its a bit frustrating but you have to keep on trying....

Passed my assessments on the 9th May, to be told there were no vacancies at that time.... why send me then?

There really is no other industry like it. I applied for a Conductor role a few months back. Passed the application stage, went for the interview and was invited for assessments in York. Arranged for time off work, booked into a hotel so I would be there nice and early and attented on time. I...

In the same situation as you were. Northern contacted me today to tell me I passed the assessment last week but as the next course is full I have to wait in the talent pool. I was told there would be another intake in October so I will have to sit tight and wait. At least I have the pass under...

I went to an assessment day last Wednesday in York for a Conductor role. After the assessment we were told it would be around a week before we would hear anything. For people already working for Northern they were told they would hear by letter, and for outside applicants it would be the usual...

Just a heads up, new vacancy being advertised for trainee driver's at Blackpool. Closing date 27/04/12.

I'm just going a little off topic here but there is a vacancy at Blackpool for trainee drivers. (24/04/12) Closing on the 27th. However the criteria has now changed as to who can apply. If you have a live application already in for another depot, you cannot apply for another vacancy. That is you...

Interesting, maybe there is hope yet.... Happened to me in a position I applied for a couple of years ago (not with the rail) Got rejected in January and they offered me the job in April. When I asked why they explained I missed the grade by a point compared to the successful candidates, so was...

All the best with your new career, my interview on Monday is for Conductor but also have an application in for Driver. I was a Conductor at Victoria in 2005 for 3 years but left to try something else. Enjoyed the job though and hopefully will get back into it before long. I remember applying...

Well done, good luck, I have an interview on Monday at Skipton so fingers crossed....:D

Me too with the Blackpool vacancies..... know how you feel. But you have to keep on trying.

Don't know if you have heard anything yet, but when I phoned to say I was attending the interview she said they were still arranging assessment days for both driver and PSR roles. So there is time yet....

Just got a letter today, interview for next Thursday. Any info after you have been tomorrow would be appreciated. Good luck!

I too went for an interview last Tuesday at Blackpool North. Was told I would be informed this week but havent heard a thing yet...

Same here, got a few more applications in with Northern though so fingers crossed.

I could be wrong but most rejections were sent out by e-mail earlier from what I can gather. Maybe no news is good news....

Don't think this is the case with Northern, originaly passed my guards assessment in 2003 but left in 2006. Just been for an interview to go back and was told i would have to resit them....
