One simple thing that can make a big difference to your application: sell yourself. We’re lucky to receive hundreds of applications from people who want to join the railway – and I get it. I love my job, and I genuinely encourage others to consider Northern too. Because of that volume, your CV is your chance to stand out for the right reasons. • Put the good stuff up top • Focus on what’s relevant to the role • Be clear about what you did and the impact you had I don’t need a full history of the last 20 years, or the swimming award you won back in the day. I do want to quickly understand what you’d bring to this role, right now. Selling yourself isn’t bragging - it’s helping your application shine in a busy shortlist.

Apr 2026Six weeks into my role as Station Delivery Manager, and what a start it’s been! 👏🏻 I’ve had the opportunity to meet some of the team already, with many more still to connect with and it’s been great to start building those relationships across the network. 👋🏻 I’m really enjoying the diversity and challenge that comes with the role. No two days are the same, and there’s a real sense of purpose in the work we’re doing to continually improve the customer experience at our stations. Looking forward to what’s ahead and continuing to learn, grow, and make a positive impact. Next week I’m heading to the East Yorkshire Coast. 🌊 #northern#northernstations
Apr 2026After a fantastic short term contract with Northern Trains, it's time for a move. It's been a privilege to work with the dedicated people in Engineering who keep our trains running. Huge thanks to Kathy Young and the rest of amazing team in comms. I've been super impressed with the creativity and energy that you all bring to Northern every day. And huge thanks to Raj Basi, MBA and all the Engineering Leadership Team. I have every confidence that this team will deliver the change and performance improvement needed for a better railway in the North. Exciting times ahead for Engineering. Onwards for me - the next station stop is a few days away!
