It's for the trainee train driver position at Manchester.

I'll brace myself for a rejection then.

Thank you and good luck.

 

[RSTurbo50]

Don't lose hope buddy I'm sure the next few days people will find out either way so don't right it off yet.

 

[cin88]

I suppose it'll be something to look forward to whilst i'm stuck in work tomorrow with no access to emails

 

[martin2345uk]

Anyone else heard anything yet...?

 

[N!ck]

I know a couple of people who have had interviews, a couple of people who have heard they are through to the next stage. I haven't heard a thing, I'm not sure how they process the applications I don't know if anyone can shed some light in how they do things

 

[mwphil]

I've had the same email stating my application has been progressed to the next stage

 

[Potato185]

Best of luck everyone who's applied.

 

[RSTurbo50]

Is the next stage interviews before any assessments are done?

 

[Potato185]

Yes, with driving managers

 

[martin2345uk]

Just got a no thanks email... well least I can stop refreshing my mailbox [emoji17]

 

[Davebirty]

Got mine at 8 o'clock too. Oh well!! Good luck to everyone still involved!!

 

[cin88]

As expected I got a rejection. Begining to get a little bit frustrated with it all now. Patience is a virtue I suppose.

Good morning. Has anyone heard from HR, re the results of the DMI?

Not yet pal. Should know by end of this week or beginning of next.

 

[RSTurbo50]

I'm still waiting to hear about what the next stage for me is. I received the email a few weeks back to say I was to be contacted about the next stage. I'm still waiting and in the northern website it states I'm in the talent pool. Is this normal??

The Piccadilly job was advertised mid-February (around 14th I think) if that's what you're on about.

Hi,

Has anyone heard back from the DMI yet?

original email said should be advised within 10-14 days after interview and its over 21 now?

 

[AdyB]

Hi

No not heard a thing back yet and my DMI was over 28 days ago

 

[cspudrun]

Glad to know its not just me.

I don't think I'd well in interview but believe I've set myself up for success next time.

 

[cspudrun]

Anyone got any idea why its taking them so long to reply?

I have no objections to be turned down and will happily attempt again when the job re arises I just hate the waiting game.

Also seems like a poor reflection on the company to keep future prospects hanging.

hope you all have a good weekend.

I believe that there has been some issue with the number of applicant during recent advertising of jobs - there has been a lot of new drivers taken on, and the system has hit a bit of a bottleneck.

As such, there is a delay, and in some cases, I am told that the actual advertisement for the job has had to be withdrawn.

This could all be industry rumour, but, it would offer an explanation as to the delays.

 

[Plonker44]

All driver courses at Northern have been cancelled.

 

[Twice blue]

All driver courses at Northern have been cancelled.

Where did you hear this?

 

[Plonker44]

Where did you hear this?

I didn't hear anywhere about it. It is a fact.

 

[cspudrun]

Hi,

Do you happen to know why they have cancelled the courses?

Were you waiting for a reply from a DMI yourself?

Hope everyone on the forum has had a good weekend
