Thank you

Hi, to my knowledge I believe London Underground recently agreed as part of their 2023 pay award to have a salary sacrifice scheme introduced by April 2025 for EV vehicles. was just wondering if any current employees on LU has any information on this? Thanks in advance for any info

Ok, so there is more of an incentive to train someone from new? As oppose to taken on already qualified? Just seems very strange as to why there would not be movement for drivers as well as trainees

I would say they must do! I have been looking for qualified vacancy to pop up for years as I moved out of London and spoke to various people from GTR recruitment and I just get the same answer, “only taking trainees for the foreseeable”. Don't get me wrong, I am glad there is opportunities to...

definately would not be put off applying. railway takes ages for anything. I have a freind of mine who was applying for 8 years before finally getting through to the tests. I was very lucky and got through on my first attempt, started 10 months after application, and now been driving 3 years...

That’s what I was thinking to be honest, but I know the December 20 intake for trainees was advertising for Eastbourne as well as Brighton…. Which made me wonder if anyone has actually started a course and had Eastbourne as there starting depot when they pass out

Just wondering if anyone on this thread that applied Dec 2020 got a start for Eastbourne depot? I know few people been given starts with Brighton….

What is compass, if you don’t mind me asking?

I don’t think the RAIB need to be involved, he has already made up his mind on what happened…..

You get long weekend every FOUR weeks depending what link you are in. My link is 6 days others are 7 days. Some weeks u will work 5 days, some 4, some only 3, but overall it will average at 4 days a week. Hope that helps

Wow. Fingers crossed for your mate. Defo don't lose all hope. Its a long old process anyways pre covid, so now with covid its probably taking even longer. I know at my TOC they have had to cut the groups down to about 4 people max, where as before you would have at least 7/8 in a group...

Hi, Towards the end of last year, think just before Christmas, GTR recruited for trainee drivers at Selhurst, Brighton, and Horsham. I cant find the thread with the exact depots so that might not be 100% correct but was just wondering, being that its been nearly 7 months now, if anyone has...

has anyone started a driving course at brighton yet?

Thanks for the info, Eastbourne seems like a bit of a hard depot to get into then. Any info on the Brighton depot. I have checked out craigybagels post on the depot and traction is the same as Eastbourne. I actually drive on some of the same route as southern at the moment.
