Spoke to someone who recently interviewed for Willesden, said there's currently no courses set for NXG at all and nothing planned either, which is very annoying. I was also told they'd just passed out 10 new drivers for NXG recently so that may have something to do with it.
Moonie did you have any luck with getting an update?
It’s such a pain being stuck in the dark, I’d rather they gave a date to us all and stuck to it, even if it is April or any other date, just the not knowing is playing havoc. Can’t plan my year until we know lol everything is on hold
No luck, I emailed to request an update of any available start dates for next year. Response was that there’s no news of any start dates for NXG. Also asked if my application on the new portal has gone through, response for that was it’s gone through.

Waiting for NXG, was initially told I'd be starting in September 2024 but then got a call to say early 2025

I got a feeling that may be pushed back a little now they have advertised for Qualified for NXG. Spoke to DFC and they say coz the concession is in the last year they are trying to save money and go for the cheaper and quicker option of recruiting Qualified drivers. I think even the Willesden trainee course may get pushed back also, but will prob know more in the New Year once everyone is back to work.

Morning all,
Spoke to a mate of mine, he reckons maybe April (ish) will be when there's a new course date.
Also, anyone have the link for the portal? I can't seem to find the login details for the portal anywhere. Cheers in advance.

When did you speak to someone about early 2025? Recently?
Is the April start date for trainee drivers or qualified?

I believe qualified but could be wrong. Thanks for the link mate

Another qualified train driver ad has gone out again... This is actually getting ridiculous now.
