Thats great! :D Hope you hear something soon. Which depot did you apply for?

I work for the Civil Service now and hear moaning all day, so I am prepared: D Good luck in your new job mate

Have you signed up for the email alerts for this forum too? I have found that the email alerts from TOC's come through, some hours after they have been advertised but as soon as someone see's them on here, they will post them. This happened with the FTPE trainee train driver jobs and these...

Where you off to mate and what doing? Its my first job in the rail industry. I am gonna be based in York HQ, which isnt too bad with being from Donny but no direct Northern train to York so I'll have to wait till I get my ATOC priv card before I can take advantage of a priv season ticket :D

Have you applied for a job and just waiting or have you been offered one and just waiting to sign the contract?

I've already signed the contract and have my staff ID card

Thank you all for your replies, it is much appreciated.

Thank you. Alternative Transport Contract Manager.

Thank you very much. This has answered everything. what is the discount on a Privilege rate season please?

Yes I filled the forms in when I sent my contract back and don’t start until the 20th October but have already received my card. I am a little confused though as this says Northern on... so will I be getting my other card from ATOC or is this for both? Hope I am making sense. Cheers

I have received a Northern Staff Privilege and ID card and so has my wife and it states the class of travel as standard with the wording "Valid for concessionary travel only on services provided by Northern Rail Ltd" so assumed that this was my travel card for Northern? So do I need to apply...

I have just received my Northern Staff Privilege card and just wondered in layman’s terms how it works? Do I need to still purchase a ticket or just show my card? I know that this is for Northern only but how or do I need a separate card to use on all other TOC's? I live in Doncaster and will...

I have now handed my notice in and start my new job at Northern on the 20th October. A lot sooner than I expected, as I was told to wait until I'd had my drugs and alcohol test (25th Sept) but they said if I think I'll pass (which I will) then no point waiting. Just want to say a big thanks...

I'm not applying but thought I'd let others know. I have a condtional offer for Northern and just waiting for my medical but not as frontline staff. If you get through to the interview and need any help let me know.... I only had mine last month :D

Thats quick!!! Didnt even look at that, seen as it had only just been advertised yesterday. Well good luck to anyone who applies :D

Northern are recruiting for Trainee Conductor Manchester Victoria. Please note this vacancy will close to new applications when a sufficient number has been received. Heres the link (hope it works)...

I only had to wait a week and that was long enough, so 6 months must be hard. I've still got my medical and references to do and then I can hand my notice in. I looked at trainee train driver, as I'm a qualified HGV driving instructor and taught the Millitary for the 6 years and then moved...

Thanks for the congrats. It's as the contract manager for northern's alternative transport, so it's not as exciting as driving a train or working on one but I'm thrilled to be working for northern. I will be based at their HQ in York and I've now got a feeling that my holiday entitlement maybe...

I've just accepted a position at Northern Rail subject to a medical and references. Anyone give me a heads up on the medical? Also what are the holidays and other benefits like? I've not seen the contract yet and I know some of the benefits are free rail travel and the salary but that's it for...

Hi All, This is my first post. I have applied for a few posts within the rail industry but this is my first time past the post and I have an interview at Northern Rail for Alternative Transport Contract Manager. Now the job advert didn’t give a great deal away and I had just received...
