    MMI choosing answers

    I used a few off my app, if your TOC is like northerns you can login and go over it. Failing that write them from memory. Most of us are guilty of over thinking things, it's natural. I'm sure you'll be fine

    MMI choosing answers

    Dave, I'm no expert but passed mine a couple of years ago. Just have a few examples in mind. I used a few from my app and DMI. A big help I think is it asks for your MMI examples at the start of your day before the tests, so you know what your walking into. They do give you a bit of time to...

    Northern Rail Trainee Drivers - Liverpool

    Hi mate, all depends on how long it takes them. Think mine was 6/7 weeks. Remember no news is good news and good luck

    Probably the truest statement I've read here (especially about the wife !) In all reality nobody knows what HR are doing. Lots of speculation, I've been waiting a while lots of ups and downs. It'll all be worth it if or when it comes !

    Northern Rail Trainee Drivers - Liverpool

    I think it's just by the one person mate. I'm in the same position, however if I wasn't I couldn't understand his frustration after patiently waiting for 16 months.

    Northern Rail Trainee Drivers - Liverpool

    John I'm not going to carry on this argument. There's a few of us still in the pool, Madeinwigan has a point it does seem massively unfair. A pass should be a pass regardless, I worked hard for that pass. I think your comment about "best-ness" is really unfair to all of us still waiting.

    Northern Rail Trainee Drivers - Liverpool

    Hope so mate. I've not had an actual email off them fir around 11 months now. I've only heard via here about people getting emails. Another thing I noticed is on the advert it's 60 minutes travel time. It was that when I applied to Manchester, she told me there was a change in rule to 45...

    Northern Rail Trainee Drivers - Liverpool

    Recruitment said there will be no further courses or recruitment this year. I appreciate things change but that was 2 weeks ago? Mixed messages about it all, why so close to the renewal of the franchise do they want to fill up the pool.

    Northern Rail Trainee Drivers - Liverpool

    I'm in the pool for lime street, have been for 15 months. Wonder what this means for me and others in the same position. Phone call on Monday I think, just want to clarify my position. I've eagerly awaited a call and now this has happened.

    Northern Rail Trainee Drivers - Liverpool

    Total contradiction on what we we've been told that there's no planned recruitment in the north west until the franchise renews.

    Who's in a driver or conductor talent pool?

    Im in the pool for northern Manchester. No recruitment for rest of year due to franchise up in April. Spoke with recruitment, cancelled all 2015 courses

    Waiting lists

    I've been in the pool for 16 months, still hoping. Sit tight it'll be worth it in the end. It's still a great position to bed in, well providing it pays off. I'm staying positive

    Northern Rail- Wigan and man

    As in 1 hour when applied and now 45 mins?? If so no...nothing. I've sent 4 emails and had no response. Oh sorry I had one response and it appeared to be a generic one for a different matter. I take it you've not heard if you're in the same boat?

    Trainee Driver Talent Pool

    Ive been in the pool a year next week or so. Been full of ups and downs. Things are moving but at a snails pace.

    Failed Assessment

    Sorry to hear that. If its your first time, don't be disheartened, coming so close is harder than failing the app. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself up and go again. There is a lot of people I know just gave up after one attempt, but if its what you want to do take the experience and try...

    Northern Rail- Wigan and man

    In short, no its not. I've been fully commited to gaining employment with northern, had been for the last 14 months. I enquired about the change in travel time to be told I'd not be considered for the Manc depots I applied for nor would I be considered for anywhere else. My application is...
