    GTR - Trainee Train Driver vacancies (07/12/20)

    I applied for the 3 of them on the 13th and still heard nothing back. Was a bit worried as some people had already recieved their rejections but I am pretty sure they are overwhelmed but also I guess most of their HR staff is on annual leave.

    Online tests

    This might be useful for me as I cannot get my head around all the information. there should be a "become a train driver for dummies" book. I see lots of different tests, people practicing them... Assuming I have zero knowledge, what advice would you give me in order to progress?

    Railway and Dating Life

    why wouldn't it be? My partner is a nurse and to be honest that is one of the best things we could ever have. We both have our own time, and we plan according to her rota. Not difficult at all. Now, I don't know about both partners doing shifts. In our case, we have agreed if I were to become...

    Pay gap reporting

    My only concern with this is, do men and women have the same opportunities to apply for a, let's say driver's job? If yes, we are done. If no, please name the reasons. But allow women by lowering the standards is moronic.

    A career as a train driver

    Stupid question, but I think it could be worth it for people already in different roles but willing to become a driver. Throughout the selection process, are interviews, assessments, etc... arranged during the week working hours? Thanks in advance.

    A career as a train driver

    apologies for the double post, as per your nickname, I can assume you´re in Bromley ( East London myseld) would you mind if i DM you ( i cannot at the moment, don´t know why) with a few questions? I am a bit lost on a few aspects and my close circle is not really familiar with the UK railway.
