    I've been in the talent pool since November 2018, for Gidea Park. I have given up waiting, luckily I start with Greater Anglia tomorrow. Goodluck to those of you that are waiting for a start date, hope you don't have to wait too long.

    Freightliner Various Trainee Drivers

    I got offered one at the beginning of January but I wasnt able to make the date they offered so I had to decline. I have since got a start date with Greater Anglia so I am not too fussed to be honest but I never heard back from them with another interview date.

    So I emailed my HR and they said they give employment dates and last 2 years sickness dates. 2018 I had 0 days sick but 2019 I have had 18 days sick. Hoping this doesn't affect my application! The medical form asks for sick days for last 12 months so that's not ideal! :rolleyes:

    That's great, thanks mate. Any idea what they ask for in terms of references? I've had an unlucky year with sickness/football related injuries and had quite a few days off, I'm a bit worried they may not like this. I work for the Police so I dont think they disclose your sickness record in a...

    Anyone know the approx time between passing medical and getting a start date, also what's the process inbetween, I take it they do references, uniform etc? Got my medical 6th Dec so fingers crossed that's all ok, I'm keen to know if I'll be starting sometime in the early part of 2020

    Had my DMI today with GA, from what I can gather I passed, as he said I'll let HR know I am happy with you and then they will arrange your medical etc. Hopefully that all goes well and I will get a start date for the new year! :D
