    How far back are references requested?

    Avanti Qualified Drivers - Euston, Wolves and Liverpool (06/03/2024)

    Avanti Qualified Drivers - Euston, Wolves and Liverpool (06/03/2024)

    It states about the salary increasing incrementally over two years (after core routes & traction). Does anyone know what the time frames are for that? As I see there's quite a big difference between the Euston incremental increases and the Liverpool ones
