Hi all,

Anyone familiar with Earles Sidings?

Firstly, stupid question but how is it pronounced? Is it one syllable or two?

Secondly, what Freightliner routes run from there?

Thanks in advance!

That’s correct, based in Hope Valley, Peak District.
I assume this is the one near Hope cement works, which last I heard were still sending bulk loads by rail.

It’s three. Earles Si-dings. Heavy Haul operates from there. Have you applied for a position there?

Thanks Venna. The second ‘e’ in Earles was throwing me.

Yep, progressing with a Trainee Driver application based there.

To view the sidings watch this very recent Dan Coffey video, the final few minutes, about 3:12:10 onwards from Hope;

No problem! Ah all the best, what stage are you at? Is that with Freightliner?

I’m an internal applicant, passed my psychometrics, just waiting on medical. Am I right in assuming after this I’ll be offered the role.

Yep, medical should be the final stage. Had mine on Friday so keeping everything crossed!
Thought so, cheers. Not worried I’ve been doing railway medicals for over 6 years now no issue. I wonder if they’ll ask for my dbs with me being internal not worried but I could speed the process by getting one ordered today
