How long does it normally take to get a start date with NWR . Had a formal offer 3 months ago and then heard nothing back from the recruitment team . Tried calling them but don't get any explanation apart from it takes time .

Which depot was it for mate

Really depends on grade and location I’m afraid, if you’ve signed your contract you’ll be given a date but it does take time for various reasons.

I was interviewed in June for a drivers job. 7 days later I was sent an email saying congratulations you've successfully passed that stage. Next stage is a medical and safety record transfer. Heard nothing since July 4th. Got to say I'm majorly dissapoint in the communication from HR. Not sure what to think. I've heard it's because the Dec timetable had being delayed?

I was interviewed in May . Had to wait a month to get the formal offer . Signed all that , had the medical and have heard nothing since . Communication doesn't seem to be there strong suit .

I've moved jobs a few times down the yrs railway to railway and never have I been told I've passed an interview to be left hanging for 3 months. No communication whatsoever. Messing with people's lives really. It's simply not good enough to say well it's the railway

I worked for another contractor before and only had to wait a month . Seriously considering trying to get hold of the hiring manager .
