    Life Insurance and illness cover advice.

    Thanks for this, the contract states we are to go in to the East Coast Main line shared cost section of the RPS on the date we commence. More info to come in due course, but I havent had anything further yet. In terms of sick pay, nothing for six months except SSP, then it's a sliding...

    Life Insurance and illness cover advice.

    Hi folks, I was wondering if I could ask for advice please in relation to Life Insurance and illness cover. I am currently working my notice after 21 years in the Police, and I'll be starting as a trainee driver with LNER in January. Life Insurance policies are pretty good with the Police, but...

    LNER Trainee Driver Jobs (18/03/2020)

    Hi, thanks for these details. I guess I am thinking of the contract as the job offer and these being one and the same. We've had neither of these, other than an email asking if the 18th Jan is a suitable start date. Which I don't consider a job offer firm enough to hand in my notice. Hopefully...

    I applied for my certificates about six weeks ago, from 1988. One board provided it back within 4 weeks, and one took just under 6 weeks. They are mostly working from home so they are delayed but they can provide them. When I explained I had not got mine, even though i could lay my hands on the...

    Thats the same as me! Ive had one certificate back from AQA and the other one still hasn't arrived but I've had an email from the exam board confirming my result. I sent all that through this week but heard nothing. At least you've had some sort of response. I'm told contracts come on email.

    Yes, that was me. I havent heard anything whatsoever since my medical, despite emails and trying to ring them. Also want to finish for xmas. The nurse implied you would hear within two days regarding the next step but thats clearly not the case for whatever reason.

    Hi Mate, I think you were at York with me in October, your medical was the day before mine last week ? I was at Doncaster on the 5th for mine. I take it your contract offer still hasn't come then?

    Hi, i have submitted my error checking results, but also have 'error checking copy' in my list of online tests but it says i have no tests outstanding, if that makes sense. But i have not heard anything. Should i do the error checking for a second time, even though it says it isnt outstanding?
