I was gonna ring after dinner. I'll let you know what they say
If that is the case then why would TPE drag it out for 6 months rather than just tell people "due to changes in operational requirements..."? It doesn't make much sense (not to mention be extremely unfair) to keep people hanging on unless they actually plan to do something - and be a waste of time and money doing the whole recruitment process.
I'm pretty sure the management restructuring is now complete.
The real truth is they don't need and trainee drivers, in fact they really don't need the drivers they have!
After Dec when northern and TPE officially split the west side they have 50+ drivers for 1 train an hour to Scotland which means they have far too many drivers who will be redeployed to the east side which means no need for any new trainee drivers!
The trainee driver recruitment just before the francishise was just a franchise box ticking excercise I'm afraid we've all been had by TPE.
There are no jobs, for those who gained the physcometric tests then use them for other TOCS
New TPE new danger!??????????????????
Well people should not give up so easily. Apparently Liverpool depot for example is to DOUBLE in size over next couple of years, so guess likely to be similar at other locations. Have some patience and look at the bigger picture, you will all get there in the end im sure
Has everyone heard back yet?I've had no email about this yet...
Just Liverpool depot, but even that has not been confirmed yet. All just railway rumours as usual.
