I've bitten the bullet and gone for accommodation in Manchester and will be making the commute via train, since there is a shuttle from Knutsford station to the site. I'm hoping that there will be some hybrid working so I don't have to do it every day of the week. I've still not been passed over to anyone who has been able to give me any details regarding team/area, have you?

Unite Students rent their student accommodation for short terms over the summer, you can see if they have any left :smile:

No, still waiting to get team the assignment. Have you booked a summer student accommodation? Any clue which area in Manchester would be good for commuting to Knutsford?

If you phone up they can potentially offer you rooms from mid June by letting you pick up someones contract who left early. So I have a contract from 18th June - 8th July, then a separate contract from 8th July - 12th August.

Yeah mines a summer student accommodation. I'm just in central Manchester, about a 5 min walk from from Oxford Road station where you can get a train to Knutsford.

I'm also looking for a place to stay. Are student accomodations the best option?
