Maybe I misread the article but I thought it said an announcement was due tomorrow...? I’m trying to figure out if resigning from my permanent job and starting with TFW will be the best move with the changes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I’m in the conductor talent pool with an estimated start date of jan/feb 2021. I’m awaiting the WG announcement tomorrow (Thursday 29th) which will hopefully make the situation clearer and easier for me to understand.

I was offered a start but I am in the middle of training for my new job (I knew this would happen) so feel obliged to stay atm. Gone back in the talent pool for the next recruitment. Hopefully, by then we will have more of an idea how the new company are doing.

I've had a missed call and email to ring about starting the next course. I've also started work with a new employer so undecided. Have they given date's for the medical yet? Lynette

This is so frustrating as I'm sure only one person was allocated to the Cardiff course from our recruitment batch and everyone else was put into the 'talent pool' and told they would be contacted when the time was right. I am third position, apparently so presume I would be called for the next...

Hi everyone I e-mailed HR in relation to the course starting in June and was informed that it was not going ahead. I also queried whether I was safe to book a Summer holiday and was told that I was as the next course would be in the Autumn. However, today they have advertised new trainee...

No I haven't rang because I have been expecting a call everyday. I dont need to give notice to any employer, just withdraw my acceptance (if it comes to that). But most people in work need to give their employer notice of termination of their contract with them so i am a bit puzzled as to why...

Well I have heard nothing since my call from HR a month ago so I havent had the medical. I have had to accept another job with DWP as I am now unemployed. I am due to start on 18th June which is the exact date the Arriva course starts! I have no idea what is going on or what I am going to do if...

That happened with us. If yr telephone interview isn't until next week then you won't know the outcome for a few days or a week, then there's the assessment centre . They ran 4 assessments over 2 days and took a week to give out the results. If you then think that successful applicants may need...

Same as me then Lewis... it was Jane who rang to say there was a course running in Chester on 18th June and was i still interested as they were looking for 3 and I was third? I thought I was 4th tbh. The medical needs to be done first and she didn't have a date as they were just ringing around...

Has anyone else had a phone call from HR today about the possibility of a place on the course in June? (Chester)

I'm new to all this rail speak.... what's W & B and the VTECH horror story??

Hi Lewis That's good news! I've got one more month in my current job and have a provisional job offer (pre-employment check pending) and a few more applications being reviewed. I will wait to hear and decide where i go as I dont want to mess anyone around. Timing is key for me at the moment. I...

Maybe she said Chester and not Crewe

There's a Cardiff course in March then Crewe in June and hopefully another Cardiff course in August/September. Thats what I was told. But I wouldn't be surprises if the 2nd Cardiff one was postponed due to the new franchise.
