On hold for NR at Darlington, due to the number of courses/candidates going through training any guesses/ideas whether those of us on hold will get a course before our applications expire?
Sounds like youre in a similar position to me although im on hold for sheffield. HR told me the assessment is valid for 5 years and the interview only 9 months. Not sure which interview they mean though as ive had 2. One with Northern initially and then another with DB Shenker on the day of the assessment centre. There was probably 6 weeks between them
Hi there, I have my assessment in Sheffield next week. It will be interesting to know whether the Sheffield candidates who are currently on hold is because Northern are waiting for more candidates to pass assessments this month....or because they have too many candidates already passed and already started training. When I had my interview it was stated that courses start from September for Sheffield, and I know there there are multiple assessment days this month.....I am hoping it is the former, not the latter. Cheers.

Northern are wanting an extra 150 drivers up and running before December 2017, so if you're on hold you have a good chance
Hi All,
I'm on hold for NR Sheffield trainee train driver role same depot as you Karl998yr...I applied in March passed interview.and assessment over 7 weeks ago in June. Hopefully we will hear something soon.Things appear to be progressing slowly.
Having read some of the posts on here then assessment centres are still taking place so fingers crossed its just a case of once enough candidates have passed to fill a training course then it will progress.
I read a post somewhere that said training courses were scheduled for september so if thats correct then the wait shouldnt be much longer
Might see you on the training course Bailos!
Speaking of training courses. Does anyone know where the training courses take place?

Hi twice blue.
I'm in exactly the same place as you. Found out today the positions are full for Darlington.
I was told by hr they don't have any more courses planned as yet and have no idea if there will be any. I will remain optimistic however it doesn't look like there will be places any time soon.
Hi all, I am in the same situation, passed in June for Sheffield, just waiting to hear about a start date too. Training is at Leeds, Neville Hill. Karl998yr are you the guy I was on assessments with end of June, when it was just us two there?
If you're dean the bus driver that only had to do part of the assessment then yes it was. Good to hear you got through too. Looks like a waiting game now
Hi Aboult. I'm also on hold for Darlo. Did HR give you a phonecall then? Just wondering whether to expect any contact from them in the next few days...
Thanks
No I called them. I was hoping that we'd hear this month.
I am trying to keep positive but it's not looking great. I'm really hoping something will come of it I can't see why they would put us through an interview and assessment then nothing happen.... I haven't heard anyone say that happened to them on the forum at least....
Let me know if you hear any better news
