Hi Daniel, David has got his medical next Wednesday in Leeds as there are no vacancies in Manchester. He is due to start his training on the 16th October. Thanks for the advice.

Hi, has anyone heard of this form? my husband has been asked to complete this form as a Trainee Driver!!!

Hi All, I am at present in my training as a conductor for Man Pic. I was just wondering how you learnt your routes. I know everyone learns differently, I was just looking for idea's :D:D

Came home today from my first day of induction as a conductor for FTPE, for my Husband to tell me he has had a call from Northern today telling him he has got the job for Man Vic and starts on the 14th October. We really will be trains that pass in the night :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Hi, Are any of you aware of this website that opened on the 9th September. I don't know if this is correct for everyone wishing to become a train driver, but they are quoting the following: What if I've previously failed the psychometric testing process? That's no longer a problem...

Hi All just wondering if anyone from the forum is attending the induction 4 days at Huddersfield starting tomorrow? I believe there are Trainee Drivers, Drivers, Revenue Protection and like myself Trainee Conductors. I am sooooo excited to eventually be starting, although I know the next 6 weeks...

Hi I start my training next week with First as a trainee conductor and I will be based at Man Picc. My training is at Huddersfield if that helps. :D:D

Hi Pip, sorry to read this, what might have happened is someone had a better pass rate than yourself. Your result stands for 3 years with FTPE so you wont need to retake them. Don't let this put you off. I passed everything 2 years ago and then the position was put on hold. I start my training...

Well done, I got my contract yesterday as well and I am still laughing at the fact they provide me with long johns as part of my uniform :). I am also really grateful for all the help and advice I received. It is great you have started a blog. I will look forward to reading it. I start my...

Hi Pip, well done on getting to the role play. Where have you applied for? I found the role play easy, just stay relaxed. I had an old lady who had taken her cat to the vets that morning and was distressed. I showed empathy and continued with my role, checking her ticket.:D:D They are just...

Hi, I passed all my assessments with a TOC then put on hold. Over 2 years later the position was re-advertised, so I applied and then I rang the TOC to remind them I had passed everything with them. I didn't have to re-take anything, I just had my interview and medical and I start my training...

I have got my official starting date :). I start my training on the 16th September. Is anyone else on this training course?

Glad I wasnt at Man Picc this morning when the lightening struck. The picture is amazing, but must be chaos at the station.

Does that mean I'm high caliber? lol. Good luck for the future vacancies though Matt :)

Brilliant well done.

At my assessment it was very much, give me an example when you dealt with: Irate customer an emergency given excellent customer service handled cash worked shifts etc. I hope this helps. Just think about the examples you used on your application form. Good Luck --- old post above --- --- new...

yes one side was red which had to go on your right ear and the other was blue and you had to press a button each time you heard a noise. Some were high, some were low and some very very low.

The nurse at Bupa Manchester was brilliant and made you feel so relaxed. I have never had a medical before and the hearing test was a little strange, but I passed it. I wasn't expecting to be told anything today and I just need to wait for the drug test to come back tomorrow for the official...

I had my medical today and I got Fit for Role. I just need to wait for my drug screen to come back tomorrow, but as I don't do drugs or even smoke I know that will be fine. Thanks everyone for all the advice you have given me on the forum. I start my training in September and will be based at...

Very sad news. Sky news have a lot of coverage about it. :(
