Great news.
Great for you, obviously, and great for us, as things seem to be moving.
Stands to reason that internals would be selected first as they are already in situe and dont need to do the rules part of the training, but encouraging that things are happening.
Nice one sir !
Current driver told me that last lot of internal depot drivers, were starting their course couple of weeks after the start as didnt need to do rules part again.
Unless its duff info

Depot Drivers are not MAINLINE drivers, they drive in depots, so although they are Train Drivers, the rules course that they would have sat would have been a condensed version, I know this because I was offered a position as a Depot driver and I turned it down, I asked about the transition from Depot to Mainline and was told that various parts of the rules would have to be redone and parts that had not been covered would need to be done with a final rules exam required to be done at the end.

Ring them and check that's the best way but in my experience when I have spoken with them before because I'm between Peterborough and Bedford and both are equally apart I was told that I would only be considered for the location I applied too
I'm waiting for Hitchin, although I have all the other depots down as scond choice. I currently live about 55ins from all the depots except Hitchin where it's only 30mins. That being said I'm a single male with no kids or commitments so I'm gonna relocate anyway.
