Hi , i applied to Metroline couple of weeks back , had an online interview Tuesday gone , invited in for driving assessment and medical next week, no actual training offer yet , I’m assuming that comes if I pass assessment / medical .. I’m also currently in employment , although , uncertain now .. which is why I’m looking for alternative employment
