Yes, I am waiting for course date as well. I hoped to be on August list, but it looks like it could be longer wait.
You heard that through the grapevine about August dates or was you just going off the email. I'm waiting on a course date euston depot

I thought all dates up until July are taken how do you know the August dates have been taken?
I don't nothing about August course. I just assumed we will know more than 3 months in advance about date. Many of people in pool probably have 3 months notice to leave currect employment.

Euston are currently focussed on filling with qualified drivers. Currently in the process in interviewing and assessing loads of them over the coming months

My logic with 3 months notice prior to a course would be them notifying us before July about courses after July.

Nobody knows exactly what though.

Fellow Liverpool applicants, are you still awaiting OPC comms? Have you had anything at all since October 2023?

Just jumping in quickly. It seems avanti don’t have any need to prioritise trainees at the moment. There’s courses for qualified drivers at all depots every couple months or so for the next year at least it seems. I know people who applied last month and already been given a course
