Over the last few months I have taken a keen interest in pursuing a career as a train driver and so I have done quite a bit of internet searching. I came across this forum and have read through a lot of interesting threads and good advise, as well as motivating stories. However, I am currently struggling to find vacancies for a trainee train driver job, I did find one single job on virgins careers site a couple of months ago and I filled out the application, but unfortunately did not hear anything back. (I understand there were thousands of applicants for that job and I think I only saw the application quite late on).
I would like to ask how and where any successful applicants on here found the job listed? And if anyone knows how often they tend to come up?
I understand I am going to have to be patient and keep checking the TOCs recruitment sites, I am just looking to get a bit of a better idea of how others have managed to get their foot in the door themselves?
