I worked in events and then radio production. As long as you can show you’ve experience of safety, working alone and dealing with customers with concrete examples you have a chance. I start my training in a couple of weeks.

Dunno, if you work for a perspex screen manufacturer they'll have done well. :) Plenty of TOCs are looking at going back to full(ish) timetables in Dec, and hopefully the direction of travel in 2021 will be towards living with covid.

Fair - I know it hasn’t started at my depot and was subject to things going well. Hopefully the issues can be resolved.

Training recommenced this week I believe - trials are underway at certain depots for those closest to passing out. Believe the plan is to roll out further should these trials be successful. Basic training still waiting, so I don’t think there’ll be any movement on new starters for a little...

friend of mine is a trainee with EMR, main line based at Kettering so not always depot based.

I started with my TOC literally as lockdown began. Did a couple of online sessions but apart from that have not started training just yet. Been reassured a number of times that the training will happen, and I’m being paid training wage, so can’t really complain. Would love to get started though!

i went right off the track once, the ball went back to the start. I passed...

no, trainees from Newcastle, Preston, Liverpool and Glasgow have also started

Huddersfield for first bit of classroom, could be Manchester, Doncaster or Newcastle for others I’m lead to believe.

Yeah absolutely. I’d imagine anyone still in the system will be first port of call though.

If it helps reassure people, I’ve heard there are plenty of vacancies still to be filled once this is over

Thought that must be coming. I’m due to start a week tomorrow - expect Someone will be in touch in the morning!

Good question - I think the situation is so fluid decisions won’t be made until closer to the time

I went all polos too

Woohoo!! See you there!

They won’t wait - they chased for my order. Just ask for help, they’re all very nice!

Congratulations!!!! I had a good feeling for you (I mean, I only base that on your posts but you know) Yes I’m fully contracted. Apparently my course was intended to be for Manchester and Glasgow drivers as they’re trying to train by traction type, but they shifted me on in order to make it...

I’m starting on 30th - I’d be surprised if it was 20th, as that’s not a Monday, but who knows?! Originally I was asked to start with 2 weeks notice and then was given a medical date of today, which was after my start date, so I think they’re even willing to do that! (As it happens, medical is...

There is a course then, but they’re running multiple I believe. The original advert said June and October too didn’t it? In fairness though originally I was offered to start Monday just gone, but it was too short notice for current job (and as it happens would’ve been a disaster as I’ve had...

Sorry to hear you didn’t make the DMI guys - well done for getting so far! Hopefully next time!
