Ah, gutted! I've been out of the country for 2 weeks and I've completely missed this. Been waiting so long for something in Manchester to come up too.
Guess there's always next time
Good luck to the rest of you, recognise a couple of names from the Metrolink thread last year!

Still nowt, though I know these things can take an age to sift through...
Yeah, don't panic yet - it took them almost 2 months to get back to me last year. Sifting will always take a while.
The advert did state that the intake is for spring/summer so I wouldn't of thought it would be too long.

Another week gone by, I take it no one heard owt...!
Be patient people.
My email for a different Northern depot stated I'd hear within 2 - 4 weeks.
I finally got my DMI email FOUR months after applying. I had already had my Psychometric assessments with another TOC that I had previously applied for.
I got on with my day to day life and forgot about the railway. Seeing that email land in my junk box 4 months later made the surprise even more surreal.
Patience is a virtue in this game.

hi everyone
I'm new on here as well. I've not heard anything either yet but a mate who recommended the job to me has said that they are still dealing with the applications. 400+ per vacancy:roll:

It's been 8 weeks since the applications were put in, seeing as it said 2-4 weeks I think it's poor that we have not heard anything at all. It's a bit frustrating when you don't know if to rule it out or to be preparing for next stage or just to know that they are still sifting through applications.
If you think that wait is bad I'd quit now lol
Somebody you probably know!! He said that the guy in question only applied when we all did and he's heard back and has passed the interview and is now at the medical stage. I did say at the time that I didn't believe it as nobody else had heard. I still think he's full of s#*t!!
