I believe I'm in the same boat mate. Ain't got a clue either

Hi Bonzo, I’ve progressed with the same time frame. However, I had my medical a couple of weeks ago. Still not had any feedback since then but I’m used to waiting. Hope you hear something soon!

I received my contract and documents today. December 2018 talent pool, to now. It paid off eventually.
Nice one mate, congrats!

Nice one! Where are you going to be based? Did you get it in the post or via email? I jump up every time my email sound goes off, must be imminent if they're starting to come out to people!
I believe you mentioned that you had to sit your second DMI end of last year? When did you have your medical?

Thanks everyone.
I'll be based at Trafford Park. The documents came by email. Yeh they had me sit the DMI again in November because I'd been in the pool for so long, and my medical was in February.

Quite soon then, I haven't had my date or contract through as yet and was hoping to take a bit of time off beforehand!
When did you have your stage 2 and DMI mate? What location? At the moment it’s mainly courses for depots like Trafford which are newly opened.

Won’t be long now then mate! You’ll get plenty of time to have some time off

Had my medical 3 weeks ago but heard nothing. I’m down for Trafford Park too. I have to work 2 months notice so I presume I’ll be on a later course unless I failed my medical and they’ve not told me

We'll all have to have a game of match the person to their forum alias
Surely they wouldn't stand in your way of this if you wanted to barter out of it?! Or reduce it at least. For me I'd just like to know, whether it's next month or three months or six, I just want to know!!

Yeah, it’s the not knowing. It’s all very well getting to ‘the front of the queue’ but until you get that contract/start date, it means diddly squat. Either way, all the best to the Trafford Park massive!

Have any of you had a start date for Trafford Park?
That's ongoing and always has been. Don't panic
They are (or were) also advertising for more trainees. I don’t think there’s any point trying to fathom why this is, as historically TOCs and FOCs do this but still utilise those in pools etc.
