Unsure I think I was due to start in Jan but something has changed which has put it forward now to possibly April or beyond. You would have thought with me having a medical it would be pending me starting soon but that hasn’t been the case for me.

I just found out today that I’m in a holding pool until potentially April and even then there’s no guarantees. Gutted tbh!! I passed my medical the other week so I’m just waiting now for a start date. Hope it’s not too long!!

Ah mint so they got back to you then... Well done Anton

congrats Paul, I had my medical yesterday for the same role based in Manchester. I was thinking this tbh with all the press coverage on this very issue. I am inclined to think it won’t affect the workers so to speak. They still need to employ staff to get up and running with the 2000 extra...

Ah right it’s just I live in a pub across the way from their offices. We get quite a few of their staff in at lunchtimes.

Do you work for Lex auto lease?

Sorry to hear you didn’t pass the paper sift. I have been applying for jobs since the start of the year and while I’m no expert I can only say what helped me get through the process. firstly when looking for jobs I set up alerts on the Deutsche Bahn page AND on google, if you type in google...

Hi just to answer your question I applied for a conductor Manchester position at the end of July had my interview on the 24th September which I passed and then I’ve just been given a medical on the 29th October. After speaking to the conductor manager he said that they are looking to get people...

Pretty sure you can go into your Deutsche Bahn account and take down your cover letter and change it.

I have been reading on the northern site about them offering a final salary pension. Is this information up to date and do they still offer new starters this kind of pension? Also can somebody explain to me how it works? I don’t currently have a pension and this is something that I very much...

I got my medical in the next few weeks so things are moving forward. It would just be a nightmare if they got stripped of the franchise before I signed on the dotted line and I had to go through the process of applying for jobs and interviewing all over again. I’m sure they will come good...

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/pacers-wont-leaving-greater-manchester-17064009 Have to say this is slightly concerning for me after passing the assessment and interview stage to become a conductor and applying for to northern for over a year to be so close...

I think they’ve just re used the previous ad and forgot to take the date out.

Since posting that I had a phone call today to say that they will be trying to aim for around November time either in Leeds or Manchester. Guess it’s just a waiting game.

Hi CJ, No this one was just listed as Conductor Manchester and it was the back end of July when I applied. Had my interview last week and found out yesterday. There is actually a post available on the Northern Careers page for this job on now.

Just found out today that I have been successful following my interview and assessment day for the conductor Manchester position. Just got to wait up to 3 weeks for a medical now. To say I’m over the moon is an understatement. Really wanted this job and happy to be so close to landing it.

Just another update.. I’m pleased to say received an email saying I’ve got an interview for a conductors position at Manchester Victoria today. Good luck to everyone else who has applications in the pipeline.

Just an update...I received an email today saying I passed the numerical and verbal assessments and that my application has been put forward to the final stage of the shortlisting process. They say they will be in touch to see say whether I will be put forward to the interview stage. Fingers...

I’ve been going through the process of trying to get on the railway. I don’t come from a railway background, I manage a public house so have customer service and management experience. I only started applying this year and to date I’ve been rejected for two train driver jobs. I still have some...
