Cool! Great to meet you! Guessing we'll be on the same course. Which assessment day did you attend?
12th November and has my psychs 11th April, you?

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.
Jan 17th and Apr 13th. Feels like an age go for both!
I hope so too.
There were only 4 on my psychs day including me, one internal and the other two both in railway jobs already. The internal candidate seemed very strong so I'll be surprised if he didn't make it through. In fact, the bitters seemed very strong as well.
I feel even more proud for making it through as I have zero railway experience.
You should be, it’s a massive deal!
I’ve been in railway for 6 and a half years now (since I was 16!!), this has been a bit of a dream of mine so I’m dead excited to get started.
I’m coming over from working in education with absolutely zero railway experience.
Must admit I didn’t think I’d have a chance to begin with.
I think I remember you now mate! The education bit definitely rings a bell.
Are you from the North East?
I am indeed. We did exercises 1 and 3 together if I remember rightly!
Awesome news! Hope it goes well for you!
I to passed my medical in March so positive that you got your date! Nice to hear that we haven't been forgotten about!
Good luck!!!
Hi everyone!
Not posted for a while.
But got my email about 3 weeks ago to say I’m starting on the 23rd October! Contracts signed and accommodation sorted! Can’t wait!
Everyone else still waiting I woul just say hang in there! My initial contact in the talent team before speaking to HR (Rebecca) seem to always be out of the office attending assessments etc I know it’s frustrating when you feel as though you can’t speak to anyone but they are really busy and if you’ve passed your medical and are still waiting for a start date don’t worry it’s coming, I passed mine in March!
Good luck to everyone!

Congrats, what depot you been assigned to?
Hey, were you only told you were starting in October three weeks ago? Not much notice is it? However great that you’ve been given a date and hopefully now the rest will filter through for everyone else. Good luck!
Anyone else even more fraught with anticipation following the last round of emails!?
Regret every day not applying for these jobs! Doubt they’ll come up again for a very long time!
I feel like it's the final countdown! Haha.
In theory there's under a week now until the end of the month.
Here’s a question, do I tell my employees now out of Courtesy or do I hold off to not sour the grapes ahead of knowing dates..... such a predicament
Think I saw the new class doing their fire training out in the car park today. Saw a nice little fire with people squirting at it!
Wish you all the best with your rules! Always around to answer any questions I can!
