Openreach recruitment 9

Has anybody else on here got May 29th as a start date?

Was originally May 28th but now starting the Tuesday due to bank holiday Monday.

Been told we may have to travel to Yarnfield on the Monday though. Do they still run a full train service on bank holidays or is it more likely we will end up with rental cars?

Cheers!

Hi MMCMME,
I'm starting 29th May as welll. There is someone else starting on 29th May, but can't remeber his/her tag.
Haven't got any details about any travel arrangements yet.
I expect it will be trains. Still running, but reduced schedule I could have 4 1/2 hour train trip (only 2 1/2 hours in car !!).Travelling from East Yorkshire. Where you travelling from ?

Might have better idea when hear from any guys/gals starting 3 april.

Discord Server a bit livelier, if you interested. Good info and banter.

Hi Dougie,

Will be travelling from North Yorkshire/County Durham depending which station they send me to.

Was looking on trains website and looks like a Sunday service.
May end up bumping into you at York station?

Same with me, looks like 4 1/2 hours on the train but its a 3 hour drive....

Will pop on discord when I get 5

Hi,

I start on 18th June. Been offered a job as Fiber Jointer in Infrastructure delivery.

I haven't received any further details with regards to the training. I would be grateful for any advice or information about what to expect over the next couple of months and during the training period.

Many thanks

I start 21st may and am travelling from kent is anyone else travelling from kent as all the people i have read on these forums are from up country not down in my little part of the country lol. i have read some many posts especially from shaved guy who has provided valuable info. I presume each year it seems to change in regard to getting uniform or information on what you are doing on your first day and if you are going to Yarnfield for your first day, it does get confusing lol

Got told I'd passed the video interview on Fri 23 Mar.

Just playing the waiting game now. Eager to get the assessment done and dusted.

I know there could still be a long wait after the assessment, but I think I'd be able to chill a bit more knowing that I'd passed.

Best of luck guys!

It doesnt matter how long the wait is, it still feels like forever!

Hopefully be worth the wait for you
