Thanks mate, exciting times!

Contract for the 23rd November start date at Bedford arrived today. Just going through it, all very real now.

I think that it might be based on when you applied?? I applied back in February but because of an issue their end I didn't have my assessments till April. My DMI was 1st June and my medical on the 12th. I see that there are some who had their assessments and interview before me so I don't know...

Well done ml, I think everyone on this thread knows how much this means to you. I'm pleased for everyone that finally has a date. I just hope more people get that call today.

See you there Matt, it's gonna be a long two months.

No, the 30th suited my circumstances better so went for that. I though an extra week doesn't really make too much difference.

Thanks, I just hope more from the forum get the call today. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Don't mind at all, had my interview on the 1st June and I think my medical was on the 12th June. Thanks for the good luck message, I hope there are more calls coming.

Thanks, it was a nice surprise to get the call, definitely wasn't expecting it until at least the new year.

Been offered two start dates for Bedford. 23rd and 30th November. Went for the 30th, suits me better. Got the call at 2pm, was surprised not to see any other people posting about offers.

Anyone else had a phone call today?

Bedford has room at the depot and they leased a couple of classrooms just up from the station on Bromham Rd, that's what I've been told anyway.

Ditto, I'm 2.5 miles from Bedford station but my current commute is only about 5 minutes. I'd be lying if I said the money wasn't an important factor, the training period will be tough financially but it'll be worth it. Does anyone know if you get any extra shifts when you're with your trainer...

Unless it's changed the computer tests and the MMI are done about two weeks after the paper tests.

Congratulations guys, really pleased for you both. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- When were your interviews guys?

Wasnt me, I'm Simon. You'd remember me, I'm about 400ft tall!!

I've been sat here wondering, for those waiting for start dates, what jobs you're leaving to be a train driver for and why? Is it because you've had enough of your current job or because you've always wanted to be a driver? I'm a Police Officer and have been for 16 years, I'm leaving because...

I've been told before she leaves she's planning on updating everyone, not giving them their dates. To me that sounds as though they're not ready to announce dates just yet. It also makes a bit of sense to wait until they've finished their latest round of interviews so they know who they've got...

I know for a fact that they are still interviewing this week and I'm pretty sure we won't hear anything for a little while. I've got it on good authority that Claire is leaving soon and planning on sending out a letter updating people in the pool with new contact details and updating them with...

I don't suppose it matters how it came about, it's good news regardless. Are you starting Sept?

That's really good news. Can I ask how long ago you applied and are you an internal applicant? When do you start?
