Thank you!

I did a bit of research about the new CEO, David Brown, and if you go on the Northern and Network Rail websites, it will give you plenty of information about plans for the future; new trains, Station upgrades, investments etc.

Hope that helps!

Hello, first post - only joined minutes ago! With regards to the above, I have passed all stages of the recruitment process; application, interview and assessment.
The process started back in December 2017 and I am now just awaiting an email with a start date.

Is anybody else in the same position as me? Does anybody have any information as to when they’re looking to start training or locations for the training?

Hi Ben, I'm in the same position as you, I work with 3 other people who are also at the same stage. I know they are still doing assessments for this role other than that don't know much.

Hi Nick! Are you internal? I don’t expect Northern to have everything sorted within a week, big recruitment campaigns just don’t work like that. I’m just impatient as I’m sure you are too. Have you had any correspondence with HR?

No I'm not internal pal. Do you work for the police? I don't if I met you on the interview stage. I know people who have waited months and months so it will happen when it happens
