Start with Northern 16th February. Anybody else??

[Joof]

Hi all. Start my new career with Northern rail at Leeds as trainee driver on the 16th of February. Next Monday!!!! Is anybody else on the course or at least the induction next Monday. Can't wait to meet you all. Looking forward to the rest of 2015 I can't wait. Can't believe I have got here. Never thought I would so I'm over the moon. Best of luck to anybody who is still trying. Feel free to PM me about anything. See some of you Monday maybe.

Hi Joof, just wondering how long your application has been mate from applying to leeds and receiving a start date? Cheers.

I applied on 9th December and they keep telling me to hold on til they decide to sift my application. You're one of the lucky ones they have already sifted then. . .

Any chance you can outline the order of the assessments, where they are done, any nasties they throw in?

 

[Joof]

I had already done the assesements with a different TOC so the counted with northern. I applied early in December and heard Nothing until early January when I was invited for interview. Passed that and then it was a medical mid January. A week later they offered me a start date in feb. I was told tho that people will be receiving invites for interviews throughout feb for an April intake. I think it goes application, interview, assessments, medical then conditional offer of employment. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you. I've been after this for a little while. Keep at it. As for the assessment process, this forum will give you loads of help and tips but they're not difficult as in complicated, it's more maintaining high levels of concentration. That's what I found anyway. Hope you hear something soon.

Thanks joof, that's excellent well done. I will keep my fingers crossed to hopefully hear something this month. Best of luck on your start mate.

Hi guys, sorry if this has been gone over before. Ive only just signed up to this. Where abouts are you completing the application forms in order to apply from trainee drivers and driver roles?

I would love to find out more and apply for a job in the industry.

On the TOC websites when they advertise. They don't take random applications, they'd be swamped. They only advertise each vacancy for a few days, if that. It has been known for vacancies to be taken down the same day, because they get so many applications.

It's a case of trawling through the different company's websites I'm afraid n checking current vacencies on a regular basis. Most jobs pop up on this forum when somebody sees them an creates a new thread.

Hey Joof. Massive congrats fella!!.

I remember battling with you for the FTPE positions last year. Ironically, have just followed in your footsteps and put in for Northern (Sheffield) this week so hopefully the same path'll be a good 'un for me too

Enjoy sir.
