I have just emailed the new hire team to find out about travel arrangements. Will let you know if I hear anything back.

Cal550 have you heard anything? I got an email back saying they will be in touch a week or so before you go.

Nope, no replies from my advisor or new hire team, think a phone call to my advisor is needed. Will probably get a similar email to yours regarding travel then. Weird when a previous email said 2-3 weeks.

Yeah mine says the same but depends on how many courses they are running and how many people they get through I am guessing.

Yeah got the email now, just my licence and clothing.

My advisor must just be quicker than yours at getting me to do things.

He did say he'd sent it earlier in the week, but it never arrived, so just phoned earlier and he resent it, also asked about the travel and he confirmed it will be next week, although he did add that it would be train tickets and travelling on Sunday evening, although for me coming down from Inverness I assume it will be much earlier in the day!

Yeah that will be a long train ride I aint to bad as I am only going down from York. You will have to drive all the way back up on the friday.

Depending how late they will pick up from Stone (going by other people's experience) there's a couple from Inverness that get into Stone around 7 or 9 on Sunday night. Yeah, I don't mind the driving, it's just that it's my first time driving something bigger than a Clio haha. Also there's less rear visibility.

No rear vis at all I am ok just to van drive and I also drive hgvs so should be ok lol. Yeah it looks like they pick you up about 7ish.
