Have you got Linkedin? There is a woman on there who specifically deals with Network Rail recruitment for ex forces. Also Linkedin is a great place to connect with current rail employees, and helps to build a picture of what opportunities are out there. You can search specifically for ex forces...

Freightliner are after qualified drivers at Peterborough too.

You will have to do Level 2 City and Guilds during the course if you don’t have them, don’t worry about it.

No they aren’t giving everyone a car each, if you’re local to someone on your course you will share.

You will get a letter approximately 2 weeks before your course, that letter will have a detailed summary of your training schedule. It will also have your hotel and hire car confirmation if that’s applicable to you. Good luck for the course in Ipswich, still can’t quite believe we start on monday.

Is everyone at your current job jealous? Lol

I haven’t had any confirmation about the hotel yet either, I’ll email them next monday if I don’t hear this week.

Less than 2 weeks to go now!!!!! Will anyone else be staying in a hotel or are the majority of you local to Crewe?

Slightly off topic but I thought this was pretty cool and maybe a bit of inspiration for those still in the recruitment process.

Excellent news well done, hopefully a few more people in the pool will start hearing shortly then.

Seems that way.

Yeh I start on the 26th, apart from yourself I’ve lost track on who else could be starting on here with us.

Are there many people on here starting next month? Really can’t wait to get going now.

I can’t remember exactly but at a guess approaching 4 years.

I can only help on those 2 questions as I was offered an interview with DB, they accepted my assessment pass marks which were over 3 years old, and they are not to enhanced standard.
