    Northern Driver Manchester

    I've passed the application and been invited to interview. Can anyone confirm whether this is a DMI or an MMI? As it is only an interview and mentions assessments at the next stage (if successful), I am assuming it is the DMI which comes first? Thanks.

    Northern Driver Manchester

    I applied a few months ago and then wasn't eligible to apply in November. Was able to apply this time around so tweaked covering letter and application. Fingers crossed.

    Using Trade Union Roles on Application

    I am applying for a conductor role and am wondering if it is beneficial to include my activities and experience as a TU rep on the application. I am mindful that unions are probably not looked upon favourably by certain sectors of the rail industry and that it may land my application straight in...

    Stockport Shunter Driver

    Did anyone else apply for this vacancy through Northern? I got a rejection email less than three weeks after it was advertised so a bit gutted about that. Currently have another application in with Northern for driver which applied for over a month before but not heard back yet. Used very...

    What is the most dismal un-passenger friendly large railway station in UK

    I'm on the thumbs down side regarding Euston. Devoid of any character whatsoever. Definitely needs opening up incorporating the main ticket office and the smaller concourse that runs down the western side of the station to alleviate the Euston scrum problems. The mezzanine level is good apart...

    Precluded injuries

    I’m on meds that carry the generic ‘may make you drowsy’ but they don’t make me drowsy or tired at all. I guess I’m just over thinking things. I think I could easily just come off them anyway if it looks likely I’ll be getting a medical at some point in the future. Thanks for the replies.

    Precluded injuries

    I’m not on long term medication, I just have a bad back basically but it’s bad enough for me to have been back and forth to doctor in recent years. The job I do now is far more physical than a train driver and I manage pretty well. I am just concerned because it seems employers nowadays will...

    Precluded injuries

    With regards to the medical for train driver, are there any physical injuries that will preclude you from driving? I have a back issue but I’ve not been operated on, only been prescribed medication and occasional physio. Want to clear up this potential hiccup before I put my all into the...
