Same here mate, 4 shifts to go then no more train passengers to contend with lol. Been caning the overtime because of the drop in wages for first 11 weeks. Now we've got letter yesterday, seems a bit more real and all very exciting. Looking forward to meeting everyone on the Monday 26th.

Seems like ages ago when I did stage 2 and DMI on 4th September.

My last week at my current job. Hotel for me as I'm for Birmingham. Hopefully we will get the hotel info soonest. Wouldn't mind having room from the Sunday night.

Well.done buddy. Probably won't see you as training in Crewe then Birmingham so good luck.

Here here mate, after working on the railway for a very short 3.5 years, I know how hard it is to get a drivers job. I feel very fortunate and very happy I'm starting with Freightliner in a few weeks and will enjoy every single day. No matter how hard it is or gets, I think it is important to...

Pretty much exactly the breakdown that was in my contract recently. Plus I had to sign another contract saying If I leave within 3 years I'll have to pay a percentage of training costs, dependant on when I leave. 4 weeks until the start of my course.

That's what thought. Are you starting on 26th Nov too class323201?

Induction, PTS and Rules I would have thought be all the same for both IM and HH?

Me yay. I'm for Birmingham IM. Hope you are all as excited as i am?

I don't know what everyone else thinks but I find it so refreshing how Freightliner are going about this recruitment campaign. They're getting people through testing and medical's in no time, and even if you're put in the talent pool, it sounds like it means you're almost certain of getting on a...

I see a lot of trainee drivers start with us and by the time they've passed out, more often than not the weight has piled on. Often it's the younger ones that fall into that trap. Its a problem as there's no fitness test to pass etc and healthy diet and exercise isn't promoted in anyway shape or...

Ha bloody doctor trying to make me feel better. Mind you isn't a BMI of 28.6 still classed as overweight? Not that it really matters....

Yeah you'll be fine mate. Wouldn't worry.

Never had to do this on my medical. Interesting one that.

As a military doctor once told me, Frank Bruno had a BMI of over 40 in his prime. I've always been over, even when I was young and lean. In my medical she just said I'm obviously not fat and my ECG, blood pressure and everything else was fine. And I managed to touch my toes lol. Don't even worry...

Liverpool

No indication at all just stated the starting salary. I take it they'll tell us on the course or when we get our formal offer as we've had to do our Medicals first. Hoping this weeks for formal offer. But then again it is the railway lol

No idea. Heard it goes up after 11 weeks but they haven't confirmed that to us yet.
