Hi all,

At the start of the month I found out I had passed the assessment stages for a role with Northern. Now they said that they will contact me when a course date has become available, but my application would expire after 9 months :rolleyes:

Would it be unreasonable to contact recruitment/HR to ask for an update, or does anyone think it would annoy the hell them? Literally just wanting to push send to an email, but am scared I may be more of a nuisance to them :oops:

Based at Newcastle , how about you?

I sent them an email. Probably won't get a reply for a few days. But hoping for the best... It's just nerve wrecking when you hear people are starting courses or have had medicals and you're just sitting eagerly waiting to hand your notice in. :lol:

Hopefully you hear something in the couple of the days pal! I’ll give them a nudge next week if I don’t hear out myself

Hi,
In my eyes it’s never to soon on the railways. I probably wouldn’t be a train driver today if I hadn’t given them a call for an update. I thought I was down for 2 depots, when I phoned them up I was only down for 1. After the phone call within 3wks I had an interview for the depot I wasn’t down for and got the job, and the other depot haven’t taken a trainee driver on in the last 3yrs.
So go for it.
