I’ve just passed interview for the same job but different depot, it’s very much 7 on 7 off, one week of 08.30-15.30 on the roster I saw, they have a 6 week roster.
Good luck!
Hi, I’m revenue protection for Northern. Very different company but,
My hours are approx 7 hour shifts, with sometimes 1-2hours break.
It’s a really enjoyable job, I do sell some tickets on board using discretion, I penalty fare and TIR rail card misuse or ticket evaders, deal with some rough...
I’m in Leeds next Thursday for training. Good luck, I know how it feels to sit those tests. I sat them 7 years ago and passed, but then got talent pooled and forgot…!
Im in Leeds now and loving every bit of training. I’m just an RPO so hopefully one day I’ll be able to drive. Feeling good though!
I certainly won’t turn down the RPO role, I’d start that and I’m on the payroll from next week for that.
But yeah… it’s just the difference in money, and it’s probably be March/April by the time anything happens . Thank you for your response
I passed my scaat and interview with Northern back in 2015, was talent pooled and then nothing….
This year an RPO role came up so I applied and I’ve been successful and issued my start date, I start week after next and my induction isn’t for 3 weeks yet.

I've applied for one of the security loss prevention roles, I've passed conductor assessment two years ago n thought that might stand me in good stead. But tonight I had to do the numerical test.... so I did, got an email right away saying I'd passed.... then had to do online verbal test.... so...
nothing from my end in cumbria, i think northern are waiting to hear if they've got the franchise again for April is it? something like that anyways. I hope they take on again for xmas or just after....Hope...
Yeah I don't think my pass would be a pass with another toc as we didn't have to do role play with northern. I got an update from northern last week Saying I'm waiting to be allocated a place on the training course but they have no idea about when that is
Just wondering who's in a TP and with which TOC? I've been pooled as a trainee conductor with northern since April. Just wondering if you all still hold on to your passes like I do mine?!
I passed my assessment in April and I'm talent pooled. I did get an update from northern recently stating that they are waiting for my place to come available for training. No rush though. Happy being a stay at home mum for the time being
Ahh right, you've had a long wait then! Well done! I currently sell caravans and luxury lodges so the sales pressure sucks a bit, would really love to learn something new with northern. I guess patience is a virtue!
