Northern in Leeds

I done my medical for TFL just before the lockdown in early march. Do you guys think I'd have to redo mine?

 

[Loccodrilla]

Possibly. I know TfL like to have clearance for medical a month before the training/start date so they may deem your previous medical as invalid

 

[Loccodrilla]

Can I ask what position you applied for?

 

[AngusYoung]

I received an email yesterday to say my medical will be in 2 weeks time.

I applied for the same position. Got offered the role on new years eve. Just waiting for medical. I did call them few days ago and they said they have restarted medical but in small numbers like 2 at a time.

TfL are currently booking Medicals for CSA2 position. As Mwc10 said, they’re booking them in small numbers due to Covid19. They book medical in order of conditional offer being received. Obviously there is a backlog and they are currently up to 8th December 2019.

Thank you for the further info! Not long left now. Fingers crossed its either this month or next.

I've emailed recruitment today to find out as I've already had a medical in march! Hopefully it's just a matter of waiting for a training date.

It’s for a TPO role at Allerton Depot. So no course!

I'm the same, I have a medical booked for the 15th June in Manchester for conductor position in Liverpool.

I had an interview with NWR last week and they said they are issuing provisional contracts conditional on passing medical. I asked what the conditions would be as think i'd be fine bar glasses (not colour blind) and they say shouldn't have an issue. Now just wondering from anyone who could tell me what is involved?

Cheers

 

[Railroader22]

Not great news as far as TfL medical are concerned. I spoke with them this morning and they said they have stopped doing medicals again for a while. She said it could be a long wait

Oh no I guess we just got to be patient and hope for the best.

 

[Chrisy89]

I’m the same , awaiting a medical from optima health for nwr but there not doing face to face so guessing could be waiting a while

 

[Mwc10]

Anyone had any updates regarding tfl CSA medicals?

 

[Red Devil]

Had my periodical medical for Northern the other day over the phone, I'm a driver.
They said they'll need to see me face to face before December. So those waiting medical's expect to be a while.
This Covid has taken a wrecking ball to anything and everything.
