Ah ok. I passed mine in March/April. I was trying to gauge a time. I know it doesn't necessarily work like that, just clutching a bit because I’ve barely heard anything since I passed.

When I last spoke to them she said I’d be considered for HH IM and Shunter at any site within the time limit of where I live

Freight works around passenger services so unsociable hours are just part and parcel of the job... therss Fordes and against IM and HH... I have 3 young children but find with my shifts I do more with them around school drop off and pick up, and it's a 4 day week.... in my opinion youd be mad not to at least give HH a go and see if it works for you. If it doesnt once you're qualified theres other options available such as moving across to IM. It's an extremely difficult job to get offered. 1000's would give anything to be in your position and theres a good reason for that. Seriously think about it before just ditching it all together.
Would that be for IM or HH?

Passed mine end of jan and have honestly received one email back since, which gave me no indication.
Anybody on here for Reading HH waiting in the pool?

Anyone know if it is normal to get feedback from your medical?

I had my medical last Wednesday and have heard nothing since. Just wondered if they confirm everything is OK etc.

Thanks for that. I have received an email with a uniform order form attached to it, but that's it.

I had a letter with a conditional job offer, subject to a DBS check (which is fine) and satisfactory references (again should be fine) and a clear medical which I think went OK on the day, but had no confirmation of this.

The letter mentioned a projected course date of 2nd September. Given that I got to give 4 weeks notice to my current employer, I'm just keen to confirm everything is OK and that I can give my notice knowing I will definetly be starting on the 2nd September.

Yeah I was the exact same, just received all that and then got told on the day of my medical that I’ve passed and just waiting for my urine sample.

Send all that back and then you’ll receive more in the post, they do know your notice period so will defiantly send it in time before the next course.
