Is there staff parking at Euston & regarding the taxi agreement when on an early turn & you can't get in, I assume that's from home to work? Thanks

Does GTR currently have some kind of arrangement with the government to recruit trainees over qualified drivers?

Wonder if/when they'll take on qualified drivers..?

Think it's highly intensive stopping work bit like a tube driver, but may be wrong.

Exactly my thoughts! I would like to try move TOC's yet its proving impossible as one (GTR) apparently hardly ever recruits qualified drivers and think it's fairly rare for the other (SWR) to go down this route too (hopefully I'm wrong!) Would love to know generally speaking why this is the...

Exactly what Im thinking. The phrase 'once you get your key the worlds your oyster' doesn't seem to be quite true but guess it depends on where you are based and what you're looking for. I've contacted several of what may be perceived as the less desirable London TOC's to work for and got told...

Ok thanks very helpful. Opportunities for overtime?

May have missed it but are Sundays inside or outside? Also anyone know what the roster would potentially look like - i.e long weekend every 3 weeks? Many thanks
