Not going to lie, Rules (so first 14 weeks) is hard work! There will be times you question if you can do it! But, I'll say what I 100% guarantee you will be told by your trainer, you get out what you put in. And that couldn't be any more the truth. As long as you put in the hours at home in the...

I'm in letchworth. Down for Hitchin but most probably going to end up at Hornsey or Welwyn (even though there's nothing at Welwyn yet.)

First day!

Hi guys, I'm currently in training with GN. (Week 17 now) I had my induction back in may at go ahead house. -also on a Wednesday. That's basic two day induction, not just drivers but all new staff platform office etc. The Friday is your driver specific induction, meet your instructor at your...

Your a star Dave999 thankyou! How's it all going so far by the way?

Ok thankyou! I guessed there would be. Hoping I'll be able to ask the question again on my induction too

Just a quick one hopefully guys, do most depots offer staff parking for drivers or are we left to fight for public ones? If there are allocated spaces or car park, does it cost? I'm due to start training at Hitchin next week, so specific to Hitchin will be good!!! I'm guessing depots...

Excellent thankyou!

Hi guys, starting my training next month for Great Northern and am currently ordering uniform. However the order sheets iv been emailed are less than informative and look like a generic sheet sent to all employees. As a driver do I need to order some shirts and some polo shirts? Or can I use up...

I'd say it's a good move, but try not to worry about it. I had my medical with GTR last week and I came out of it finding out I have high blood pressure. Nothing to worry about and iv got the job but I'll have to monitor it. As for eyesight test, was the usual covering of each eye and...

Hi, passed my medical today! Did however come up with slightly high blood pressure so have to see my GP (was half expecting it which is what probably added to the high readings) but apparently nothing to worry about job wise, the worst that can happen is I get prescribed meds to lower it. So...

As title, I was thinking some trousers and a shirt to play it safe . But suppose as a medical smart jeans, T shirt and a jacket will be ok? Any advice appreciated. Thankyou

Thanks guys. I too won't be getting to excited until after my medical. Think it's still all sinking in anyway!

Hi guys, just to throw a spanner in the works... Got the call today from Trudy-Ann. Got my medical on 8th April ready to start Hitchin course beginning of May. Strange as I originally applied for Cambridge, and live just 2 miles from Bedford station and have been given Hitchin. It's...

I too would be interested to know about this. I live about 4 miles south of bedford station, near the A6, so only about a 20minute/ half hour drive from Luton. I too have emailed... and been ignored.

Sorry, only just seen this, From what I understand they are able to move you around. I guess it has to suit them as much as it does you, but in my situation I applied for Cambridge mainly to get my foot in the door. Just lucky they picked up on it and moved me to Bedford which obviously being...

Yeah me the same. Trust said that Cambridge was all booked up most off this year now. I'm only 1.6 miles from Bedford. I missed the application for it though hence why I went for Cambridge, she picked up on this however and has put me down for Bedford instead which suits me down to the ground...

Passed my DMI, and had my MMI today. No idea how it went yet, honestly feel 50/50 on it so we will see. Much what people described really, perhaps a little bit more relaxed than I was expecting which was good. Hopefully find out next few days. I'll keep you all posted. --- old post above --- ---...

I have no idea what the abbreviations are I'm afraid perhaps someone else can help you there. As for the sit judgement tests I believe the same rules apply as every there test... There is a national standard set that all TOCs go by but some will raise their pass levels. So if you only just...

Hi guys, just got an email today with the date for my LM interview for the Cambridge trainee driver job. Early February. Hopefully if all goes well all I have to tackle is the dreaded MMI. Any advice??? What did people look up regarding the company etc and did he ask you anything that could have...
