Finally got through the tests, interview and medical and have a start date of July 8th for training at Manchester for Conductor. So wish I'd made the move before now.

Put my notice in on Friday night to allow for a week buffer before the course starts. See you there

Does anyone know whether northern request your sickness record before starting? I'm due to hopefully start in September as a driver but due an operation in next few weeks which my employer said will put me a sickness advisory due to me having a few weeks off before Christmas too. Don't want to be seen as someone who's always on sick before I start

Great news.

Am I in order to ask how long the recruitment process took?

I applied for a conductors role at Manchester Victoria back in April but sadly failed the paper sift.

There's been a further couple of recent jobs for conductors from the Manchester stations that went out on their careers board but they went after a few days which I am only assuming is because of the volume of applicants.

All I'll say is - you've got a job than many people have not been successful to get, so please make the most of the new career and I wish you all the best.
