I joined Northern last year and the medical was a last minute thing as I had already been offered a course start date. Sounds like you are almost there!
At Leeds, until you get a car pass (which could take absolutely ages) you pay for your parking, keep your tickets and then fill a disbursements form in. Once its signed by a CTM, you take the form and the tickets to the OTAP office in Leeds station and they give you the cash back. No...
Well done to all, should be hearing about medicals soon then and then its just waiting for a date. After the medicals things tend to go quite quickly and its not unheard of to get a call on Friday saying "can you start on Monday" as one guy on our course did. He knocked them back as he needed to...
