Hi, I attended this after applying for a conductors role based out of Middlesbrough, there was a 4 day recruitment for posts all over the North, I was successful and put in the pool but the clock is ticking, With less than 2 months left of the 9 we can stay in the pool has anyone moved forward from just being told that you were being put in the pool???? I was quite proud of myself getting put through to the pool then bloody Covid came along and everything stopped, Just want to get started !!!!!!!

They are recruiting again for conductors for Newcastle and Middlesbrough today so imagine you will be through soon @Whitey
when you say recruiting do you mean advertising and putting a trawl out for applications or are they having interviews today???
its just so frustrating especially with Covid thrown in for good measure
ARGHHHHHHHHH

The application process just started today,
Just found the ad for conductors out of middlesbrough. it seems to be slightly different, it now states 12 weeks training
Just found the ad for conductors out of middlesbrough. it seems to be slightly different, it now states 12 weeks training whereas it was 6 weeks we were told before, the starting salary is a bit lower as well, am I being cynical to think they are going to let us guys recruited in January just run out of time so we have to reapply under the new terms as it seems strange to recruit when they have people waiting surely, I have sent an email to Personnel to ask if I should just reapply now? so e will see what happens
The salary isn’t lower, nothing has changed there - you may have seen adverts for west based conductors that are slightly higher (just under £1000 more). East and west have different t&c’s which is the reason for this.
The training time also hasn’t changed, as you have applied for the North East, you will sign significantly less traction so it will be take less time eg 2 trains instead of 6-9 like larger depots.
Time to pass out has always been advertised as 12 weeks, they rightly told you at interview it takes less time generally for North east conductors.
Hopefully you hear back from your email soon.

Hi did you get any sort of reply? Think I was at the assessment day around about the same time. In the same boat as yourself. Sitting in a pool.
the reply I got said that the people that have been affected by the covid and missed out will be getting interviewed again, it didn't say when but my time runs out in the middle of October so hopefully then.

Hi is anyone starting October 12th ? I’m looking forward to it but really nervous with all the new covid rules I just don’t want to get delayed !
Although I'm not, best of luck. Keep us updated as to what the course consists of.

Well all the best! I just hope the whole lockdown and talk of tier 3 doesn’t affect courses for yourself and others!
