Hi Mike I guess you're now in your 3rd week, still as excited? What's the past two weeks been like, challenging? All the best, 2 weeks yesterday and it's my turn. Take care

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?

Thanks Mike. Most helpful and really appreciated.

Has your pass/passes come back yet? I have just posted mine today (recorded delivery) in the hope it comes back before starting on 1st April.

Brilliant, thank you!!!

Thanks. And what if you are married with kids?

Hi Mike. Sorry to be a pain but I have a quick question and hopefully you'll be able to clarify it for me. I have just received my contract (mega excited) and I'm filling in the "Travel Form" for my pass. I am adding my wife and son on there also. Did you get a solicitors signature or just...

Very helpful and reassuring Mike, I really appreciate it. I cannot wait to get started

Hi folks Is anyone starting there Conductor career in Leeds on 1st April? I'll be travelling from South Yorkshire. If anyone started this month it would also be nice to hear your thoughts on how its going. All the best :-)

Thats great, thank you! Such a relief because it can be up to £18 per day at peak times for me :-) I'm really looking forward to it now. Hopefully see you there.

That's great to hear Mike. I'm leaving a job I've been in for 14+ years so this is really reassuring. All the best! Any news on how to claim travel back for the training period. Its gonna cost me £15+ a day! doh.

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 :-)

Fantastic, hope to meet you there. Where will you be based?

Fantastic, good luck

That's great Railweigh, good luck and thanks for reply. Are you training in Leeds? I'll be travelling daily to the training centre from Rotherham....I hope it's the Leeds centre and not Bolton or it'll be long days!

That's great, thanks. Are you based at Sheffield station yourself, Railweigh?

Good Afternoon all My first thread so please be nice :-) Fingers crossed I start my Conductor Training in April and wondered what the parking situation is like in Sheffield when/if I qualify. I did ask the question in my interview but the answer was a bit shady and both people interviewing...

Hello all. I have my medical coming up within the next week. If I pass they have me pencilled in for starting training on 1st April in Leeds - anyone else in a similar boat? One other question. Any advice on parking in Sheffield? This is the station where I'll be based but travelling in from...
