    Due to start on the on the 27th March, pretty excited now, it's taken a good few months but I'm sure it's worth the wait. Can someone please post an example of the Conductor shift pattern, I'm sure this question has been asked before but can't seem to find anything. Thanks

    Northern Rail Conductor Training

    Does anyone know if there is anywhere to park and lock a motorbike at Leeds station for staff? After training I intend on getting to work this way but don't like the thought of leaving my bike in the centre of Leeds.

    I was also put on hold in November and was contacted 2 weeks ago confirming the 27th March start date. I had to give my current employer 8 weeks notice so I asked to be made aware in plenty of time.

Been told to sit tight and they will be in...

    Northern Trainee Conductor - Leeds

    cheers mate. The guys that did my interview where kinda hinting at January but didn't confirm it. To be honest I'm in no immediate rush as I already have a job. Hopefully I did OK at the assessment day and I'll get an offer. Its a job I've always had an interest in.

    Thanks Aivilo. Took your advice and passed the numerical test. I then did the verbal today which was hard and I didn't manage to answer all the questions. I also scored badly in the practice. My application is now under review so I guess it's a waiting game now..
