During the HR Directors speech yesterday he stated that he expects courses to finish by mid next year to meet the demand. Additional drivers are being recruited to meet the training needs on the new class 700, they will effectively have too many drivers once training is complete but they're expecting natural wastage to level things out!

Sorry a bit confused about this thread Gary. Do you mean they will stop offering courses from mid next year?

I missed their call so emailed them back to say I accept the start date and I asked about my contract. They said they have lots of phone calls to make today to fill courses and it will be posted tomorrow.
