@SWTurbo I start on the 20th March, IST on the 27th. I haven't actually been made aware who my LOM will be or any contact information for them as of yet. I'll be starting at Immingham G2. I've explained that I'm essentially floating in a temporary role with my current employment as unable to...

My IST date is end of March, it's really setting in how far that is to wait. I wish there were something more productive i could be doing in the meantime.

To be frank, I'm quite willing to sacrifice whatever home comforts I need to for a limited time, it was hard enough getting to this point I'm not failing based on something i have control over. I take your point though and if they're not paying over the weekend I'll go home of course. I don't...

Absolutely agreed with that one. Brilliant, i assume it's a case of they offer you accommodation and you take what you're given or? Do they pay for your access to Wi-Fi while in hotel accom, I'm just thinking i may need to upgrade my mobile data if not. Yeah that's absolutely my intention...

My IST is scheduled for York, i wonder what hotel they put you up in? Any good tips for prep going into it? I'm excited to get stuck in. I've been given an end of March IST date which is a long old wait but I've been trying to get in for two years, what's five more months.

I'm in at Immingham, Everything they've sent through to me i've done so waiting on medical now. I went and got an eye test and came back 20/20, my weight and BP is all good so hoping that's a formality and away we go. My feeling is we're probably waiting for a school spot to be allocated.

I have been lucky enough to get a verbal offer, they told me 'bad luck old boy' (reserve) on the Thursday and 'actually, hold up, we do want you' on the Friday. So I'm waiting for a start date now which i believe is contingent on a school date being made available. Having said that I've now...

Thank you for the kind words mate.

Same boat, i almost don't want to email follow up in case it's bad news at this point. I think it closed two months ago. I interviewed on the 10th last month from memory.

I believe it was a pool role for those locations, 12 month FTC. Code - netrail/TP/58/750 Is that the same as yours? The area within 60 mins for me is Immingham but I'm hoping to be allowed to relocate. I moved home during Covid to help family so no ties here currently. Best of luck for your...

Anyone had feedback on the interviews from the Grade 2 (Scarborough, Ferrybridge, Immingham, Worksop, Hexham, Wakefield, Harrogate & Sheffield areas) role? Still waiting, which I'm taking as a good sign but i think i was one of the earlier interviews as it's been near on 3 weeks, just wondered...

Nice to see people sharing their failures as well as successes. I've been applying, reading, learning and trying to improve my interview technique for nearly two years and I've just had a great interview today so here's hoping.

I understand and i don't mean to vent in any one direction either. It's just really frustrating when relocating is something I'm not just willing to do, something I'd actively like to. I understand there isn't much opportunity around me, that's one of the reasons I'd like to move.

About half of the roles currently up seem to have 'Our fatigue management standard means we're unable to accept any applications from candidates not already living within a 60 minute commute time of the location(s) they wish to be considered against.' Which as someone who's been trying to get...

@Dunnideer That is an absolutely fantastic reply, thank you so so much for taking the time. I appreciate it more than you know. Yes I'm applying from out of the industry and the real day to day role information was very hard to find. I found a post from 2013 listing the role as primarily...

This may seem like an obscure question, would anyone be able to break down the role/day in the life of an MOM? To be honest, it would be helpful for an LOM too if possible. I've seen the briefing by the union designating them as separate to incident response and that's thrown me off a bit...

Thanks so much for the info Graham, hard box to work as in the levers themselves or the traffic? My goal is to get into the career as a priority, would you say it's such an unpleasant box i'd be better waiting for another? I have apps for Carmarthen, Chester and Dalwhinne at Test completed with...

Hey all, Spent the last few days reading this gargantuan thread, seriously helpful. Appreciate all that's contributed. I've been offered an interview for Dorrington SB with many others at the stage prior. I wondered if anybody could tell me a little about it? My understanding is, from this...
