Anybody heard anything back from the job from April?
It's got me wondering too? Maybe an initial check has been done, such as 45 minute rule and stuff
Please bare in mind normally this is a very long process. Sadly people aren't in the office right now so that will get longer
To give you all an idea, I applied in Sept 19, & heard nothing until a phone call in Jan 20 for an interview the following week. Assessment 2 weeks after that, and a medical 2 weeks after that. However due to a family holiday I couldn’t start end of March which was why they were rushing applicants thru, so I can start July onwards but I’m in a pool awaiting a suitable course. Everything went very quickly from that call to invite to an interview. My experience with TFW the year before.. everything was very slow and long waits between each part.
however Northern HR have been friendly & helpful and I’m looking forward to receiving that call with a start date!
Thanks Rich. So realistically it is a 6-month process is what you are saying? How does northern compare to TFW by the way? I still have an application from them I am waiting to hear back from
Hope you get you start date soon!
All trainees at my depot sent home due to Coronavirus, social distancing in the cab with an instructor being the problem. Likewise with 195,331 training being suspended for the same reason.
Any schools coming up will be subject to this criteria when they get an agreement. Doubt the June school will be going ahead. If it does numbers will be reduced.
Well if that's the case then the advice regarding social distancing is being ignored.Ive read on a few other threads some TOCs are cracking on as usual and the instructors are happy to have the trainee in the cab. Is that not the case with northern
So you managed to get through the sift despite worrying about the travel distance! How many minutes away were you, pretty much 45 did you say?Ive read on a few other threads some TOCs are cracking on as usual and the instructors are happy to have the trainee in the cab.

It will be factored in a worst case scenario
During my interview with Northern they asked me how far away from the depot I livedSo you managed to get through the sift despite worrying about the travel distance! How many minutes away were you, pretty much 45 did you say?

It was discussed on mine, which is 39 mins for me.. but remember you’ll unlikely be driving to work in rush hour.. you’ll be driving the trains during rush hour! But I guess the odd occasion for an accident etc can’t be helped
