Ah I see.

Yes northern mate, okay cool that’s great. And ah okay is that often the case, that you need to travel on tpe? :)

Yeah I got in touch with hr and was told I’d be given a pass before I start. So thanks for the couple of you who gave correct advise haha.

start my training in January for conductor role, and it requires quite a lot of travelling for me. Should I expect to receive my staff rail card before I start training for that purpose? :)

Thanks, think I’ve got it all sorted.

I’ll give hr a call in the morning, it will take me well over an hour each way, commuting to Newcastle so hoping there’s something available. Thanks!

Does anybody know what northern offer, in terms of accommodation for people who live far away from there training locations. And also how I would go about organising somewhere to stay?

I’ve recently been offered a provisional start date for 6th jan, in a conductor role. I’m over the moon and can not wait to get started. I have just passed my medical, can anyone advise me as to what will happen next? Do I need to do anything or will I be sent a full contract/details of where...

How do people fail the alcohol and drugs test so often, I understand people like to have a drink although alcohol is out of your system in 3-48 hours? If you know your going to have your medical.. makes no sense lol
