Anyone heard back yet? I know it can take a while to sift through all the applications.

From what I can remember from mine. Hearing test, eyesight test, height, weight, blood pressure, Questions about your general health and drugs and alcohol test. I believe I found out I’d passed the medical a week or 2 after testing. Which depot will you be based at?

Found out I’d been successful 2 days after interview in July. Had medical 2 weeks ago and contract through door last week.

Will call hr later today

I work in a little independent shop. 3 months ago a colleague left and never got a reference despite multiple phone calls. Don’t want anyone going round in circles if I can help it.

I’ve received my contract from northern however on the references form it states these should ideally cover the last 2 years employment. My problem is I’ve worked for my current boss for the last 2 years and getting a reference from him is like getting blood from a stone. My question is if I...

Congrats.

Conductor starting 28th October.

Thanks that helps massively. Especially the dates you’ve provided, means I can work what’s what with my current job pay and final pay etc.

Say for example, your first day is next Monday and pay day is the following Friday would you receive a weeks pay or have to wait until the following pay day. I’m assuming it’s monthly or every 4 weeks. Think I can guess the answer but I have my start date and am just trying to make sure I have...

I’ve got my medical coming up and just started on the quit smoking tablets. Reading the side effects depression is listed. Would the mere fact I’m taking them have an effect on the medical. I have taken them before with no side effects however with conductor being safety critical would I be...

I’m assuming Leeds too. Only says provisional start date on email not location, but Leeds is closest to me.

Email. Stated I had been successful at interview stage and provisional start date pending successful medical.

hi all. Just wondering what the average wait time between a successful interview email being received and a date for medical email is with northern. I have a provisional start date 3 months from now so plenty of time to get the medical done and dusted. Just can’t wait to get started now...

Thanks for the replies. As I say I’m not too worried going in just the waiting for the date to come through has got my mind racing as to what’s involved.

Sorry conductor

Never had a medical before and don’t foresee any issues but just wondering what’s involved.

I’ve since had my interview/assessment day and pleased to say I’ve been successful subject to medical. Fairly confident I should pass the medical. Needless to say I’m over the moon just one more hurdle to get over then I can start my dream career.

I did mine in my spare room so I had no distractions. Make sure you read (and re-read if needs be) the questions and have a calculator for the numerical one. And don’t focus too much on the time available. I’ve heard they are not looking for a certain percentage as such, just more how you...

Thank you. Must be about my 30th application with northern and first interview so trying to prepare the best I can. Knowing how hard it is just to get an interview, due to the sheer numbers of applicants I’m going to give everything I’ve got to be successful.
