I was wondering if anybody could shed any light on how Northern Rail works with recruitment, so I have a few questions and if anybody could help me out I'd be really grateful.
I'll explain a little first:
I applied for a position back in October 2017, was successful with the online tests, went for the interview & completed the group assessment. Around 15 days later (having to prompt them even though it states they would get back to me within 14 days to let me know how it went) I asked how my interview went and I received an email back within the hour saying I was successful and that they would get back to me within 10 days with a course start date.
I emailed the company again and expressed my delight in being successful with a few questions around start dates, medicals etc and was told that I would probably be starting in the new year.
Since then I haven't heard anything back even after emailing them twice to find out whats going on?
I'd just like to add my interviewer asked if I had any holidays booked within the next 3 months (from the interview date) due to the intensity of the course I have to go on, to which I stated no, so I assumed I would have been in position by now?
So my questions to you guys who have been in this situation before:
Thank you

So my questions to you guys who have been in this situation before:
- What are the chances of this falling through?
- How can I plan my life when this is something I really want to do for a living but still haven't heard back since? I wouldn't want to make plans and then the course be slap bang in the middle of a holiday for example?
- Has anybody been in a similar situation before? And if so, what was the outcome?
Thank you
