Hi, I've been looking through these forums for a couple months now so I've decided to make an account to get some help.
I've been working for Network Rail for the last 5 years doing Permanent track maintenance and Signals. Thinking of applying to become a Freight Train Driver as I think its probably one of the best roles I can get into with my railway experience...or a Signaller (The role of a signaller doesn't appeal to me at the moment)
I see Freight liner and DB cargo have vacancies for trainee drivers, but the only thing that's making me have doubts is the stories about these companies losing contracts and also has previously made people redundant (DB Cargo).
Should I leave my secure position in network rail to work for any of these FOC's?
