Sounds perfect to me too.
Gives me a good opportunity to say my farewells and earn a bit more before dropping to a lower wage.
It will be totally worth it though and can't wait to get stuck in

I'll see you there spesh! Surprised the results haven't come back yet, last one I did in my current role took 2 days to come backSame here - see you on the 25th!

Purely a start date. No contract, no mention of salary, no mention of the terms and conditions the offer is subject to.

I don't think so, the letter says all classroom training will take place in Crewe; there must be two separate courses running.

Mind me asking how you were informed of your medical results? Was it a phone-call?

I'm sorted too! I hope the PPE fits decently, my NR ones are enormous!

Have they said whether is Bristol North or Central?
Both are good depots with some good drivers.
Seems about right, not sure on what parts of wcml and how far down to Bristol but you'll have the most variety.

Hey all, I was also down Watford on Thursday 3rd October, with the likes of PhatDan ect. Thing Is I am still waiting and heard nothing back yet so understandably getting twitchy now. So who is best getting in touch with FL, OPC or someone else?

Hey Two Wheeler! I was also down in Watford on 3rd and I'm in exactly the same position as you. I tried calling FLHR on Friday but was told that the woman who deals with all the recruitment off until Monday. I'll probably be checking the post in the morning and calling back in the afternoon if still no luck.
As far as I'm concerned no news is good news. If we had failed the tests we would have probably been told immediately so I'm happy on that front.
There could be any number of reasons that they haven't got back to us yet, and the only one that concerns me is that my letter may have been lost in the post; Then I would be at risk of missing my interview through lack of information (hence why I'll be ringing on Monday). The phone number should be the one at the top of letters they should have sent you re past tests.
Final thought - It makes sense to interview people together based on their current location and therefore where they might be based i the future. According to this forum there have been lots of job offers for Crewe and the South of the country, but none for Manchester (which is my local), Leeds or Liverpool. I notice you say you 'went down' to Watford. Are you from the North of the country also? I get the feeling they might be interviewing based on location, and ours may not have come up yet.
Would be interesting to know where Phatdan comes from, North or South?
Of course this is all just theoretical and is most likely all wrong, but at least knowing more than one person is in the same boat as me is very comforting (sorry, lol). Keeping my fingers crossed that we both hear soon!
