I'm due to pass out fully around March next year, so yeah 10/11 months.
Yeah I'm enjoying it, It's hard work but worth it. I've put a few posts up regarding some of the assessments etc.
Hi,
Yes I've been reading them thanks . I'm just dying to get started now. I've had a start date for around 6 months now and the countdown has seemed never ending so I can imaging what it's like for people who haven't had a confirmation yet.
Just a quick question , is the traction training done at local depot (mine being Newcastle ) ?
This has probably been asked but got an assessment day coming up and was wondering how the day goes.
Read back through this thread, there's multiple posts about it.
Hi All,
Has anyone who has passed assessment heard any news? I know we were informed we would be contacted by Oct, but as it fast approaches I am wandering, have they not emailed yet, therefore sit and wait. Or have they emailed and I stupidly deleted it.
Thanks.
Still waiting also. Had the medical in March
Has anyone passed the medical and still waiting or are most of you waiting for that also?
No word here either, and I haven't had a medical yet so I'm waiting for both. I'm hearing nothing but good things about the company on here though, so I'm itching to get going!

Keep the faith everyone....surely can't be long now!
Can it?
Hopefully by October means the end of September...
I guess the optimist in me is thinking 'by October' means the end of September which would be the end of this week. The realist in me is expecting some news in October (hopefully).
It all seems so long ago its almost surreal! Have we all dreamt it all and is this forum just manned by bots in the Matrix to keep us hanging on in this perpetual state of anticipation??
See...its driven me mad!
If memory serves me right it was almost a year since we applied! Very long wait, and I’d imagine we will be waiting till 2018 to begin training
Just checked through emails, it was 29th October last year when I got the "loved reading your CV and covering letter" reply and received the link to the online test with 5 days to complete it. Seems so long ago now and at that stage the thought of being here and having a job offer was just a dream. Got to keep reminding myself of how well we've all done to get here now, 4 other people I know were knocked back before even that point. The wait has got to be worth it, just hoping the start dates are early 2018 and we're not waiting much longer. This forum has actually been a huge source of reassurance in that regard not sure how it would have been if had not realised we're all in the same boat so thank you to all who've took time to comment, it's made the waiting more bearable, hopefully meet some of you soon.
Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster. Passed psychometrics in April as I was one of the later assessment days at York, I recognise some of you from the day (FManc - I'm pretty sure we did a couple of the tasks together). Thanks to everyone who has shared little bits of information so far, the wait has been absolute torture but I am sure we are close to some news.
I am interested as to whether anyone has tried to email Virgin since October or whether we are all still in dark? I know from other threads they have been busy recruiting qualifieds at KX but I really hope we hear before the end of October.
Hey! Glad to see (hopefully soonish) another familiar face
If there is no news by the last week of this month I'll be tempted to email to see if there is any info on start dates.
Now we're in October, every time I get an email notification I'm like oooooh I wonder if this is the email! I will admit I'm finding the wait for info quite difficult now as I feel like everything is just on hold at the moment.
As you said, they've just taken some qualified drivers at KX who have start dates in January 2018. I'm gonna presume we'll get start dates staggered throughout the first several months of next year.
