Hi all, LNER recently advertised for Qualified Train Driver vacancies earlier in the year (Both Leeds and Doncaster) - Just to confirm I've neither applied or in the process, but I'm wondering, in anticipation of future vacancies then what is the general process for applications now a days. I...

Cheers for the info

Current salary is £68,800 approx

My personal opinion is the issues many have with LUMO lie deeper than shift patterns and cleaning tables (No, this is not aimed at anyone in this thread - Just a General observation) From the outset when LUMO or East Coast Trains Ltd as it was then broke onto the scene and even in the early...

What regardless on how clean your SOL is and other potential attributes and experience you may of gained with in your respective TOC? Are you an LNER employee?? I get there I a set criteria as with many TOCs, but to hold an incident against them for the duration of their career is potentially...

I see XC are now advertising for Qualified Drivers at verious, slighlty off topic so apologies in advance but one item mentioned in their advert is that you need 18 months experience in your current role in order to reply. Seems a strange criteria, any reason why this is a requirement and how...

Probably a high volume of candidates being leeds.

Been down a couple of days I believe. However, unsure what closing date was.

In regards to that, have they a certain time period...i understand the case by case approach. I'm lead to believe LNER prefer 5 years. Do XC adopt a similier approach again depending in the incident.

No, Sunderland Drivers dont sign 221s and Bradford Drivers dont sign North of York. Any 221s in York may be down to disrubtion of sorts.
