Yes mate or phone them, your check will have a reference number on it and they can check it!
So long as it is with the correct company. We had to do Scottish ones 18 months ago
Lovely, thanks mate. I've just applied for mine so should recieve it in a couple of days. Who did you contact, just the mobile number the HR lady called from or is there another number for HR ?
Why Scottish ones mate ? I just went through the GOV website.
Just the HR number mate
No idea, but that's what FL specified
I didn’t do the Scottish one, don’t think it makes a difference anymore.
Evening Gents, I've spoken to Tracey at HR today and she has told me that the course starting May 4th is 100% going ahead and we should be expecting our dates for medicals and offers in principle through very soon. She apologised for the time its taking but with everything that's going on with the coronavirus she's been running around like a headless chicken !
Hello mate, look forward to meeting you properly in May.
Great news, thanks for the update
thanks mate looking forward to it
Thats great news, thanks tommy for doing the groundwork, I was thinking of ringing HR myself, you have saved us all some time there
Ipswich is a decent depot. It's always very daunting starting at a new place of work, particularly where there are a lot of new faces and personalities, but when I started in 2018 I was made to feel welcome by every single person there. They all spoke to me by name and always had time for a chat. You'll love it. Look forward to meeting you Ipswich lot once you've started. In the meantime, if you have any questions drop me a private message!
Not a problem, did mine last year without a passport. Can do off DL or bank accounts...
Lovely thanks mate

I hadn't heard anything on a DMI after passing all my OPC tests, applied for Eastleigh.
Frankly now I don't expect to hear now. Even those who had heard I am not sure how training courses could be held for the foreseeable future given social restrictions in place at the moment. Given the speed, or lack of speed, with recruitment in the rail industry (only from what I have picked up on these forums) Coronavirus will have only made that worse.
I applied as well at a passenger TOC but certainly don't expect to hear on that. At a time they are talking about laying off qualified staff (though this may be different now with government support) I am not sure how they could take on new trainees.

It can only 100% go ahead if government advice/rules allow it. FL have little control over that.
FWIW, current FL trainees have been placed on call at home as social distancing have prevented more than one driver in the cab etc. There is some current unknowns about what's happening with current FL trainees as things stand.
Hope it does go smoothly for you though. Good Luck.
Your joking mate, when was it arranged???
