Gb railfreight trainee train driver west midlands

[Konik]

I think it has a lot to do with HS2 project being kept on hold by politicians atm although good news is that they said Birmingham - London should go ahead as a priority. GBRF won some contracts within this project, so hopefully someone will contact us soon

 

[TTD85]

Anyone had any form of correspondence?

 

[steve1981]

Still no update

 

[Konik]

Only thing I noticed is status changing from Under Review to Hidden

I’m just hopping the promise of getting a few weeks of the Rail Operator role is kept and we’re not doing it for months on end!

As long as the contract says trainee train manager it will be ok, I think Feb is when we will start driver course
