Awesome information on here ref the training structure, self study etc and looking forward to starting next Wednesday.

Out of interest are there any others on here due to start on the 17th May. Jut wondering what the class size will be?

Well I passed my medical...big relief just awaiting the contract and confirmation for a start date of the 17th May.. Good luck to all those still awaiting a medical/ start date

I already wear glasses and have done for a while but my prescription changed...but on reflection doubt it'll have much of an effect on the results as it was a minor change

Ahh I see thank you for clarifying that. I plan on passing everything and putting in the effort as its been a long journey to this point alone. The same as many before and indeed after me. I am looking forward to the course just a bit apprehensive when it comes to test but im sure with the...

I have been "pencilled" in on the 17th May Course if anyone's on that? Bromley Boy you say you failed at the handling stage but I was informed that you get 2 attempts at everything? is this the case and if not how many attempts do you get as I hear the pass mark is something along the lines...

Thanks inthearea. Technically I'm already part of the railway as I work for Network Rail.. whatever station im posted to at least its a step forward.

Honestly.....im waiting to see how the medical goes first before I start partying lol. My eyesight has got worse...not by much but still playing on my mind.

Well I never thought this day would come but I have been offered a place on the May 17th Course at Hitchin...Not my first choice but I wont complain as I have been in the pool since June 2015!! I still have to redo my medical but nothing has changed. Here's hoping that goes ok and I can have...

I've been waiting since June 2015 and still heard nothing. I'm glad there appears to be some movement but i'm unsure whether ill get anything as i'm in Leighton Buzzard so on the cusp of a few stations. Good luck to all those that have start dates.

So.....just for some clarity....GTR are downsizing certain depots which may or may not mean less drivers? In terms of bedford deport "potential" trainees does this mean a longer wait or I've up?? Still optimistic but this info doesn't help me believe ill have a date in less than two years...

Same waiting time as me then....

On looking at a map it would appear so am I.... 44mins Hitchin 40mins Bedford

I know that feeling. Congrats to all that get a call

I haven't received the email and I like most have been waiting a long time now.... Shall do the norm...wait and see.. Well done Tenthghost :)

Instead of me putting distances from the station would you like me to list the names of those awaiting Bedford with what stage they’re at and when you first applied?

If people start telling me there distances ill update the list accordingly...when i get a chance....

More than happy to do that but isnt that suggesting that they take into account the distance from out stations?? Im not even sure if they do that....
