Not heard anything either mate.
Watch this space then I guess. We've got til the end of the month anyway
Same here, amazing how just an email saying be in touch soon keeps you going, not long now for us all
Amen to that!! It doesn’t say much but I’m bloody glad if it!
Absolutely!Think I nearly stopped breathing when I saw 'Azuma' pop up on my phone! Haha! So excited and not long to wait now
Anyone else now totally obsessed with trains, Hitachi, Azuma, Virgin and anything at all on the TV with train or station in the title?!?
Not, just me....is it???
Haha no I'm exactly the same, so exciting that I'm going to be driving one myself soon.Absolutely!

I have hardly even told anyone, not even most of my family incase I fell at one of the many hurdles along the way.
Absolutely dying to announce it all, so proud we’ve got this far. God willing, we’ll be there soon and started!
It's been a long process but will be worth it. As you say feel so proud to be in this position, can't wait to have the start date and contract so can feel free to share the good news with others

Is there anyone who hasn’t got this update email who is waiting for a start date? I didn’t get it which is worrying me.
I feel like I’m coming late to this new development, the first email I saw was to say there had been a new post in this Forum.... then little glance down my inbox and there it was in all its shining glory...Azuma!
It might not be the email we really are waiting for, but it does go along way to allay the agonising wait.
So a few more weeks and then we should know. Maybe even able to put a few faces to names on here?

I got the same email. It’ll be interesting to see when start dates are going to be and how many courses are still to run from the original intake. If anyone has any inside knowledge on this I’d be keen to hear it - I personally suspect (or perhaps hope) there won’t be more than 2 or 3 more courses to run?
Have you checked your spam/junk folder?

I’m no expert but I seriously doubt it. I certainly don’t think they go out of their way to fail people and it’d be awfully harsh to fail you over that. Everyone picks up injuries, can’t be helped.
I’d guess that in the very worst case scenario it may delay things while they see if it heals properly and then reassess you but that’s worst case scenario. I’d be amazed if you failed because of that.

I did pal, funnily enough it came through at 6.40 so don’t know why delayed. I have it though so can rest easy again.
So much relief just to hear something! Just returned from a trip to Europe where I've been travelling round by train boring the other half to tears with my new found obsession with all things railway related. This has eased the pain of returning to work somewhat though. Looks like we're nearly there now people....
Anyone left here in for Edinburgh?

Me!
Cool! Great to meet you! Guessing we'll be on the same course. Which assessment day did you attend?
