Just wondering who's in a TP and with which TOC? I've been pooled as a trainee conductor with northern since April. Just wondering if you all still hold on to your passes like I do mine?!
The courses are not organised for a depot. On the west they are organised for the whole region and candidates for different depots are placed on course in accordance to business needs.
Hence my surprise when You wrote that there are no courses planned for the rest of the year. Courses are planned but it's unlikely that there will be a Wigan trainee on it. You already know the reasons for that.
In last 12 months there was only 1-2 trainees for Wigan AFAIK.

Im in the pool for northern Manchester. No recruitment for rest of year due to franchise up in April. Spoke with recruitment, cancelled all 2015 courses
I am in the pool for Northern Manchester and have also heard this, which is the last thing that I wanted to hear, particularly regarding the franchise.
What are the chances of Northern getting the franchise again or is it touch and go?
Also if the worse did happen and Northern loose the franchise would we all get the boot from the pool or will the new replacing TOC keep us. What usually happens as I am new to all this ?
Thanks.
I am in the pool for Northern driver at leeds. Received an e-mail from HR on weds saying that the recruitment for 2015 is slower than anticipated but there will be recruitment this year and I will be considered when the places come up.
regards,
darryl
Thanks Darryl
I have not received any such e-mail regarding this. Has any of the Manchester driver pool been sent this e-mail or is this anticipation for Leeds only ?
Regards.
Yes I'm in man and got it
I have had e-mail updates from them so far apart from this one. I wonder why ?
Give them a ring, how long have you been waiting ?
Hi Louby
I have been in the pool for Driver since Feb 14, don't know how many have been taken on this year. Still jumping for the phone when it rings.
Same as the rest of us, didn't think they were many left, I longed stopped listening for the phone!
Are you still within the new 45 min catchment time?
Yeah I don't think my pass would be a pass with another toc as we didn't have to do role play with northern. I got an update from northern last week Saying I'm waiting to be allocated a place on the training course but they have no idea about when that is
