    Northern - Driver Apprenticeship - Manchester (14/10/21)

    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!

    New job offer of RPO but conductor came up…

    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

    Who's in a driver or conductor talent pool?

    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
