South Yorks.
I was told nothing until 2022 now
I applied for South Yorks too and have heard nothing, not even the June email saying it was under review. So it would appear we are in the same boat
Congratulations mate
I’ve been waiting for 2 years now , hopefully won’t be the case for you
2 years for where? Hope you get it soon mate.

If you are on their books already (not quite sure what you mean by that) surely you will have had previous communication with them, no? Id have a look through my emails and reply to last person who contacted you.
I should of explained. As the job fell through i was told im DB books for 5 years so any role was to come up im to contact them and ill not have to do all the test again. Well thats the impression i got. I did email christy duffy but got no response hence why i asked if anyone got anyone else i can speak to
A new job for Peak Forest just came up, please see post #1 for a link.
From a Peak Forest advert it seems there's a person who you could contact via their email: [email protected]
Cheers ill give it a go

well done! when did you do your medical? I did mine nearly 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything.
My medical was July.
Seems to be a common thread about lack of contact I’ve emailed before just looking for some updates and never been answered . Not ideal it kind of puts your life on hold a bit. I knocked back a move in my job last year as it meant re-skilling and training and I thought it’s a lot of hassle and I’m probably leaving soon. Wasn’t the case

Many people here advised not to put your life on hold, because the call may never come and you will end up with nothing.
Is anybody in the Mossend pool or based at Mossend ?
Wasn’t told anything like that tbh , was told a job could come up at anytime and to keep them informed if I changed my mind and or took another job. I’ve no complaints or anything I was under no illusions that I was in a pool awaiting a position to become available, I just thought there might have been a little more contact especially post COVID given the impact it’s had on the country in general.

I had my medical back in July
It’s definitely been a long process and Covid didn’t help I think I applied in 2019 and my interview was January 2020. But hopefully all worth it now I’ve handed in my notice so no turning back now
Nice one mate well done. Done all my stuff in 2019 as well and I’m still waiting, fingers crossed it won’t be too long
What position are you in? Have you had your start date?

Just FYI anyone who is starting at peak forest with DB Cargo, I used to work there was there for 4 years between 2014-2018 if you need any advise I’m more than happy to help, I went through the full training with them, I’m currently employed by another TOC now, a great depot to work out of will advise the weather up there is like the Bermuda Triangle at times lol
Above position's once again open for applications.Dollands Moor, South Kent: (30/07/2021), (13/08/2021) & *new 12/10/2021*
Congratulations, NICBIN. Sounds like there will be quite a few of us waiting for courses in the new year.
