    Just had trainee conductor interview

    Hi, I emailed HR with a couple of questions, accommodation being one of them and they said accommodation details will be sent before the start date. I'm assuming once they have the signed contract and other assorted forms back they will get something booked.

    Talent pool

    Its for trainee conductor, interviewed last week for Carlisle but this week a position in Workington is being advertised - which is closer to where I live. If the Carlisle application is now closed surely I can make a new application?

    Talent pool

    So I received an email from Northern today to say after a successful interview I have been added to the talent pool. Do I still apply for vacancies as they come up or do I just hang on and hope they contact me. I've emailed them but obviously dont want to miss any opportunities.
