Sorry for the delayed response I believe if I had said yes the medical would have been this week or next week

I see. Thanks for that! I just spoke to Arriva and told them that at the moment I'm not really in a position to accept it as my life is up in the air right now. I've asked to go back into the pool and hopefully next time (if there is a next time) I'll already be in Cardiff and in a better...

Hi Tom Thanks for the reply The job with Network rail is Signalling and telecom's which is what I've been doing for 4 years. The progression available is good (although I am taking a backwards step to secure a move back to Wales) What is DOO on the valleys out of interest? At the moment I'm...

Just had a phone call to ask me if I would like to accept a conductor role. With the Training course starting 29th October. Trouble is I've recently accepted an offer to transfer to Cardiff with my job for Network rail. Got a big decision to make I think

Cheers mate, Just keep going and I'm sure it'll happen for you

I think I answered them all, but I reckon there was a couple I was probably unsure of so just guessed. To be honest it was so long ago now and it was all a bit blurry

Yeah I know what you mean. So much harder when you're being timed too. I know it sounds stupid but I found BBC bitesize is a good place to practice Thanks mate, appreciate it.

Don't worry mate. You may have done better than you thought. It's done now so just think positive and at least you know what to expect/work on next time

Thank you for this information, that's very helpful! The same happened with us when we applied, although I think the course ended up being pushed back a couple of weeks. I think I'm 6th in the talent pool so I'm not getting my hopes up at all really. Good luck to those applying regardless Lewis

Ah right fair enough. That makes sense. I just hope hope if they do run courses that I’ll be lucky enough to get on one

That’s interesting to know. The new trainee conductor role for Cardiff says central as opposed to valley lines which is strange

Hi Lynette, I understand your frustration as I feel it to! I spoke to HR and all they said is they confirmed I was in the Talent pool for Cardiff (didn't specifically say valley lines). They also said they were advertising these conductor posts to strengthen the existing talent pool and would...

Hi Tom Do you know what position this is for? Me and Lynnette are in the conductor talent pool for cardiff valley lines Kind regards Lewis

Hi Lynnette Thanks for the update. I was going to wait until next month to contact them but now I may do it a little sooner. It definitely looks positive that they're still actively looking to employ people. I hope we can get on a course before Christmas as it's hard to plan life with not...

Hi Lynnette Did you manage to sort it out in the end? The Chester course starting monday isn't it? Lewis

If it was me I'd just just keep phoning/emailing them. Have you got a medical booked or just waiting to hear?

I was wondering why we hadn't heard any updates! Have you phoned them for any update since? What a strange coincidence that its the same date! I hope they sort it out for you

Well done! Hope you manage to get on the course. Let us know how it goes Lewis

Thats good news lynette! Any more news? They did tell me they may have space on the course

Personally I'd go for it regardless and worry about it when the time comes. You might not end up on a course until well after your holiday and even if you did you may be able to defer your place for another course anyway. I'd just concentrate on the telephone interview first. best of luck to you
