I know there was one in September. Ive seen November 5th mentioned on here and I know there is a course starting December 3rd.

HR are massively overrun so patience is key. By all means drop them an email but in time you'll get the nod should you have made the cut

I’ve just randomly had an email at 4pm today (on a sunday) that I have passed the interview and invited to assessment centre on the 29th October.
Anybody else?
If anybody knows were the best online study material is for assessments I would be very appreciative.

Thanks

They should send you some practice material which will describe the tests and give you some examples to work on. In my experience the only one that was really worth spending any time on was the Group Bordon (dots) test, and there is a sticky on this forum where you can download a PC program to practice with. It also allows you to print off paper versions of the test - which is what you will do at the assessment centre, and I'd strongly recommenced you do this.

Got a "Dear John" from Northern today, so back to the drawing board. Do they still have the 141's in Iran??!!

Any new jobs are being done by arriva recruitment now rather than northern so it might get a lot better.

Can anyone help.
I applied for a trainee driver position at Blackpool around the start of October and havent heard anything back since the confirmation email. Is this normal or have I been unsuccessful?

Well... last week I finally received the rejection email after applying in April. So, give it another 6 months or so and then start to get worried :lol:

It is taking the urine having to wait 6+ months for a reply. Anyone would think that Northern weren't short of staff...!
