Qualified Drivers positions at Leeds and Doncaster for those interested https://lnerjobs.co.uk/jobs/vacancy/qualified-train-driver---doncaster--leeds-2422-doncaster-station-/2440/description/

It sounds like the same old story everyone deserves to be paid more than train drivers because all they are perceived to do is push buttons, when we know in reality it is way more than that. Train drivers and other railway staff know they are paid a decent wage for what they do, but there...

The only driver depot in Scotland for LNER is Edinburgh. Drivers book on at the Waverley, taxi to Craigentinny for any units that need picking up from there and vice versa if you drop a set of to Craigentinny then taxi back to the Waverley. Train Managers are based at Edinburgh and Aberdeen...

I heard the same thing, but again don't know how true it maybe. I was talking to a friend who has just applied and she recently spoke to a few ex colleagues of hers who had made the move to Eurostar and they told her that it was being looked at, that in future the role would become an...

As mentioned in a previous post the 40K train manager jobs are the guards on LNER with additional responsibilities not Driver Team Managers I believe at LNER they are on about mid 70k. The traditional route for a driver if they wanted to progress is normally Driver Instructor, Driver Team...

Liverpool St (West Anglia) they cover Liverpool St to Cambridge/Stansted/Hertford etc. Liverpool St (Anglia) they cover the other side So Liverpool St - Norwich etc As a driver depending on which side you pick your will not mix work, you will work one side or the other. Also to note different...

If I remember right, Liverpool Street (Anglia) do London-Norwich route etc Liverpool Street (West Anglia) they do Liverpool St - Cambridge/Stansted as a driver you won't mix between the two you'll do one or the other

https://jobs.deutschebahngroup.careers/en_US/jobsGlobal/JobDetail/Apprentice-Train-Driver-Bristol-Cambridge-Derby-Leeds-Leicester-and-Newcastle-Depots/138461 Great opportunity, recruiting for a number of depots Bristol, Cambridge, Derby, Leeds, Leicester and Newcastle

Hey I saw this and was also thinking about applying. So they do the trainees initial training rules and traction amongst other operational training. I actually follow one of LNERs Training Delivery Managers on Twitter. I have a friend who is doing his hours now for LNER and he says all...

In all fairness, when Greater Anglia were looking for Qualified Drivers they had the advert open for like 6months+ but had the closing date advertised in 6months, East Coast should just do the same and put a closing date of like September or something.

Congratulations on your pass. I saw that they asked about TPWS, and I've seen people debate weather it should be asked or not.

28k to start Something like 35k once rules and traction passed 70k once passed out (normally 10-12 months but in this current covid climate I would extend that by a good few months) Not bad considering some TOCS make you wait a few years before you're on full whack

I imagine most of this would be down to retirement. TOCS like LNER/Avanti/XC previously didn't or had no need to recruit off the street, but I imagine with these tocs there will be a large amount of drivers that are approaching retirement or already at retirement age and can go just like that...

I would say it depends what you are interested in academically. That's the beauty of the railway you don't need a specific degree unless its an area that particularly requires specialist knowledge. You've probably already heard of the IRO, they do a range of qualifications, you don't need to...
