I have recieved a reply from GTR HR this afternoon to a query email I sent to them 3 weeks ago to the HR Southern email addres that we all were given.

Basically in a nutshell, 2016 trainee driver course plans well underway and trying to sort dates at the moment.

I also have a new contact name, email and phone number.

No email for me. Out of interest was the email in response to one you sent?

RE email recepients

Have you emailed HR first - in other words, received a reply ? Or did any of you get this new email out of the blue?

I got an email about 2 hours ago, asked two friends if they have heard anything yet they haven't. But as said above basically they have a plan on how to run the courses and we will be given dates in due course.

Just spoke to Southern HR. They can't confirm any course dates for Three Bridges till at the least the new year. Fingers crossed we all hear in Jan!

No email at all for me ??????

Out of interest has anyone who has received the email already had a medical ?

I recieved the email but haven't had a medical.

However ChampsRacing recieved the email and HAS had a medical, looking back at the list in the talent pool on page 29 I think it is.

We can look at it as a positive. People are receiving email updates that havent yet had medicals. Me, you and a few others havent received the email but have had the medical.

Maybe we are close to being placed and dont need to receive an update. With medicals under our belts we are good to go.

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong but lets be glass half full type of guys

I said that last night - the other person I know without an email passed his medical at the same time as me which was earlier than the two people I know who had their medicals at a later stage. I am obviously hoping that we are placed before Christmas (wouldn't that be an absolute belter?!) but in any event I am glad I wasn't the only one with that logic stream. Here's hoping. Which Depot were you going for Bucko? I'm London.

I did the DMI in May and passed the Medi in June. Thing is we'll be Chalk and Cheese as you'll be Thameslink Rovers and I'll be GN United!
