Thanks Yorkie. Can't get it to show for me. ----- Correct just found the small print that allows you to view the return prices rather than the single prices. Funny how NRE website aren't showing this price and only show anytime tickets. At least I have a cheaper ticket option. Thanks.

I have just checked train times for Macc to Manchester for today and on Rail Enquires and noticed that the cheapest fare was £14.50 anytime return. No sign of the £9.10 Day return I thought I would check the Virgin website and it was the same there. No sign of a off peak day return. On...

It really all depends on who else is applying and their SJT scores mate. Its all done with Percentiles as well. I applied for several jobs all at the same time (as I wasn't about relocating) some I got a thanks but no thanks other saw me through to the assessment and interview stage. All...

Nah. The org position said unsuccessful and reassigned. The new IRC number had Assessment 2 successful or completed, something like that. 2 weeks later I got an email from New Hires with the formal invite to accept offer letter. I was told the only person who could withdraw the offer is the...

Same thing happened to me. My vacancy got reassigned to a new position. Therefore in the HR system it saw me as being unsuccessful for the original position even thou I had been successful and for whatever management/budget/line reason they needed to shift my vacancy I applied for to another...

Congrats. I'm currently in Week 5 and as both Tom's have said it is a blast. Be prepared to work hard. Wk1+2 are relaxed. 3+4 and the pace gets intense then calms down for Wk5+6 Our group can't be separated, we study together, eat together, gym together. While a little sad some one did say...

Knew it. They told me its the Govt that sets the cost. I did inform them that, that was for the standard anytime fare that Northern controls. (wasn't sure if I was correct) As for writing to their CS dept - I have done this on several occasions. Not sure if they read the letters as got the...

It annoyed me when they changed their price structure. I was told by several members of their staff that Virgin have no control over the price set. I thought with Virgin only they did?? Also both staff at Picc and Macc are puzzled by the way a single is more expensive than the off peak return...

Thanks Guys. Yorkie. - Yes I am travelling from Macclesfield. (typing on the way home so forgot the important details) Victoria to Halifax is a cheaper day return plus I have the option of the £3 advanced fares from Northern, hence why I was asking if a Macc to Manchester Stations is...

Thanks. So its a complete legally route with the ticket as long as I don't leave the stations. I know its quicker walking but having to catch a train from Vic as its cheaper to spilt ticket to picc and then buy a return from Vic to my destination.

My local station runs into Manchester piccadily and the ticket says manchester stations. So am I able to go to Victoria vai Salford crescent ordoes my journey end at picc. I know I'm unable to use the metro as the ticket is not valid, and when asked at my booking office they told me they can...

Paper and pen, which they supply. Easy day. The people in charge make it as relaxing and stress free as they can and put you at ease. They will spend time to make sure you have understood what is needed for each section and they let you practice the examples as many time as is needed (or is...

Get another form and see if it states anything about 28 days in the T&C on the form or on their website - if not...

Yeah, mine wanted me to start mid July. beginning of October is now my start date. Doesn't do any harm to phone - they may be able to chase it up for you or direct your call to some one who is dealing with it.

They can take there time. I was told by the line manger 3 days after interview I had got the job. My online account changed quickly however I did not get any email from HR for 4 weeks. I know from unsuccessful posts, I have waited anything from a week to a month to get a 'Not this time'...

This may seem like a stupid question, but for the last couple of weeks traveling on TPE I have often looked at the tiny section that is First Class. Not many seats. Do people know how many 1st class tickets they sell. For example if the 10 or so seats were sold online via the TPE website in...

Mod please move if in wrong place. Hello all. I'm travelling to barrow from Manchester in a couple of weeks and managed to get some cheap advanced tickets. My concern is while on the outbound it clearly states the time and date of the train that is valid. On the return ticket it just...

When I had mine a few months back it was more of a relocation interview, it wasn't with HR but a senior conductor (line manager) asking if I was willing to relocate, did I have any spouses, house to sell, know the area etc

Its basically part of the first sift to whittle the candidates down. Its basically an SJT (Saturation Judgement Test) 15 or so question where it gives a scenario and then 4 options of what would be the best course of action and you pick one of them. Two of the answers are normally obvious...

I think I had to wait a couple of weeks for my assessment results as two others were doing theirs in another place. It was agonising to say the least. Good luck Forest Rail with the interview when they organise it.
