Congratulations on getting this far. The medical is quite simple and Northern never even took up any of my references when I joined last year!

I joined Northern last year and the medical was a last minute thing as I had already been offered a course start date. Sounds like you are almost there!

At Leeds, until you get a car pass (which could take absolutely ages) you pay for your parking, keep your tickets and then fill a disbursements form in. Once its signed by a CTM, you take the form and the tickets to the OTAP office in Leeds station and they give you the cash back. No...

Well done to all, should be hearing about medicals soon then and then its just waiting for a date. After the medicals things tend to go quite quickly and its not unheard of to get a call on Friday saying "can you start on Monday" as one guy on our course did. He knocked them back as he needed to...

Sorry for the delay in replying, just been a bit busy with the brain drain of being back in the classroom again. As for the assessment, the example stuff they send you to prepare with are really good and quite close to what you will see on the day. On the SCAAT front, the example sheets are...

Medical passed and welcome pack in the post, roll on the 11th. The wife has bought me a nice man bag for all my school books and homework bless her??????

Got the call this morning, subject to a medical I start on the 11th May in Leeds. Medical is already booked for Thursday so they aren't hanging around! Happy ain't the word! Hope everyone else has had good news??????

Nope, I rung them on Tuesday and for the Leeds positions they were doing the other psychometric assessments on Tuesday and Thursday this week. The results were going to be given to the manager on Friday and he will make his decision on who gets places on courses early next week.....allegedly...

Nope, another day of waiting for the phone to ring:cry:

Congratulations! Let me know when you hear anything please. That assessor wasn't the most impressive specimen I've ever come across, in fact was the first person at Northern I have dealt with that wasn't absolutely spot on. I was the older one of the two Leeds candidates, have no idea how the...

Surprisingly yes I did. Got an e Mail on Thursday saying I had met the required standard and that someone will be in touch with regards to the next step of the process. There was ten people sitting the assessment, 8 were for 2 positions in Barrow and two of us for the Leeds positions. Good luck...

Had an e mail at 0830 from HR stating "sorry for the delay in the assessments, but we are short of assessors and other stations with vacancies that are starting before Leeds are taking priority. Hold fire and we will get to you with dates when available" At 1030hrs the phone rings, HR in York...

Don't panic mate, I've not heard anything either. There are intakes in May, August and September so should be plenty of places to go round!

Passed the interview....deep joy ! Just waiting for a date for the psychometric test

Too true, really nice people and put you at ease. Just the wait now to see if I made the cut

Good luck fella, wishing you all the best with it!

Here's hoping so Scudz, just got to take a deep breath and go for it.

Cheers guys, any help is massively appreciated. The research has already started and I'm cramming on the history of Northern Rail to date. How many example based questions are there likely to be? And would you use the same ones from your application form or is it best to find new examples to...

Will be going for an interview in Leeds on March 10th....after months of checking the online vacancies. Cant believe I finally got my foot in the door, got two weeks to prep myself and give it my best shot!
