From applying to join GNE, what was the process like and how long did it take to be offered a position?
Which depot are you hoping to work at after training?

If you or anyone else would like to hear updates then I'm happy to post a few things here from time to time. Not started yet but might be able to provide some updates in a month or so.

(16 Jul 2017, 5:26 pm)peter wrote Any idea when 5237 will be moving to Stanley - it must have been VOR for a while now? And is there still any intention of 6124 being repainted into Toon Link livery or have plans changed? Also, 6129 is still down as being Black on the fleet list though has since been branded.
(16 Jul 2017, 5:34 pm)peter wrote Thanks for the info Dan! Was reading off the GNE site Fleet Allocation with regard to 5237 - obviously haven't updated to reflect the transfer due to the vehicle being VOR

Wonder if a full re-branding of the FAB 56 in the future?

(16 Jul 2017, 7:28 pm)Michael wrote Never is, sometimes its a few days behind on fleet movements when it's updated.
It hasn't been updated since 26th June.
