Same here mate, bit of a shambles really!I’m hoping to be on this one too as I start 5th September, but haven’t received any confirmation yet.
Im hoping something comes through today to confirm. I’ve already sent a couple of emails these past few weeks asking for an update so don’t want to sound like I’m mithering so now I’m patiently waitingSame here mate, bit of a shambles really!
That would be nice, I've done the same no reply from the LOM, Recruitment say they're chasing it, even phoned the school at Bristol, fingers crossed we hear something soon.Im hoping something comes through today to confirm.

Anyone on here who has applied for the Cumbrian coast jobs heard anything yet?
Thanks for this! I’m hoping to have Christmas free to spend time with my partner, but feel like I can’t be sure what they’ll ask for. I’ll do whatever they require though. This job means a lot to me!Your LOM will let you know when you start. Given that it’s Christmas you might just get to have a few days at home but you’ll also likely need to get all your admin sorted for a couple of days, horrific e-learning marathon for a day or two, spend a few days in your box having a look at how it all works. Killing time!
I’m going to be at Ipswich from the 3rd January. Think I’ll be on the TCB course but can’t be sure.i'm in the same situation that you are, start date 19th december so waiting until after 19th september to do the medical due to the 3 month validity of the d&a test, then york at the start of january, which training centre are you going to?
I was wondering this?! When do we join the union? During IST or at the end? Assume if instructors are off we just have day off. Or if we are members we strike too?With the industrial action not looking at slowing up in the coming months, how would this affect a trainee signaller who may be on their IST? I’m due to get started next month and am slightly worried about how it might affect it.
Thank you!

You are completely protected by law to strike from day 1.You don’t have to join any union, it’s not a closed shop. You can if you wish join on day one of employment either via payroll deduction or via the union of your choices website and direct debit.
I’d be careful striking even if your in a union during your first 6 months ie probation and definitely in school.
Is it worth casting a shadow over yourself so soon in your new career, I know ideal world it shouldn’t but we don’t live in an ideal world do we….
I didnt think it was a choice thing, if your in the union you have an obligation to do the right thing and support the union. I will join up, will be a sting taking pay cut on training wage , hopefully be resolved soon!You don’t have to join any union, it’s not a closed shop.

Did you get your update this morning?Im hoping something comes through today to confirm. I’ve already sent a couple of emails these past few weeks asking for an update so don’t want to sound like I’m mithering so now I’m patiently waiting
I received an email asking for my number but haven’t had the call about the IST yet have you?Did you get your update this morning?
Might be different for you as you're Shrewsbury based but the Hereford details were starting on the 16th at Larbert!!I received an email asking for my number but haven’t had the call about the IST yet have you?
Was that the email you received or did you get a follow up call? It was the Hereford MOM that emailed me so I’m sure I’ll find out mine soon. Is it 16th September you’re starting? That’s a Friday if so.Might be different for you as you're Shrewsbury based but the Hereford details were starting on the 16th at Larbert!!
Email from Hereford LOM and then spoke by phone, 16th was the date he's been quoted like you say strange as courses normally start on Mondays, sounds like folk are being sent all over the country at the moment as IST places are at a premium there are 4 of us from Hereford area on this course.Was that the email you received or did you get a follow up call?

I’ve just had the call, I’m on the same course, he said it starts on the 19th. Will you go home every weekend with it being so far?Email from Hereford LOM and then spoke by phone, 16th was the date he's been quoted like you say strange as courses normally start on Mondays, sounds like folk are being sent all over the country at the moment as IST places are at a premium there are 4 of us from Hereford area on this course.
19th would make sense, I'll probably come home every other weekend I used to do that commute and on a Friday you're probably looking at 6 and half hours to get home with the trafficI’ve just had the call, I’m on the same course, he said it starts on the 19th.

I think I’ll go home every weekend but probably take the train. Unless anyone was up for taking it in turns car sharing19th would make sense, I'll probably come home every other weekend I used to do that commute and on a Friday you're probably looking at 6 and half hours to get home with the traffic
Do they pay for your hotels at weekend?If I get on I plan to stay for the whole duration. You only get one chance really but everyone is different I guess
Hotels are only paid Sunday to ThursdayI think I’ll go home every weekend but probably take the train. Unless anyone was up for taking it in turns car sharing
I used to live in York so it’s not a problem. I’ll just stay the other nights at my own expense and use the time wiselyDo they pay for your hotels at weekend?
