I was thinking the same. 2 hours with 1 hour lunch, where do I sign up haha!

Thank you and good luck to you if you decide to make the move

I’m in the same position as you so it will be good to hear input from others. I’ve currently got applications in for TOC’s and just waiting to hear back. My main reason for moving would be the pension as my current company no longer do the final salary scheme.

Anyone heard back yet?

Surely as you’re a Qualified Driver they would give you a bit of time to make the decision, even if just a couple of days. How long have you been waiting? I thought talent pools for Qualified Drivers would be a lot less waiting as they need you quicker than training someone up from scratch

Not just yet, but it did only close on Saturday 1692111277 Sorry that’s if you were referring to Liverpool & Wolverhampton which has been the latest

They just give you a scenario with 4 answers and ask you to put them in order of what you think is the most important to the least important. 20 scenarios in total I think. I don’t actually think it’s a pass/fail test

I recently looked at applying for a qualified position at TPE and they wanted all of the forms submitted with the initial application, which I thought seemed strange. But it did state they would only contact your current company if you were offered a position.

Anyone with anymore information on the original post as I would like to know more about these 2 companies at Lime Street. Thanks

I’m capped on about 30k. A full final salary pension with another company is definitely tempting, plus free/discounted rail travel, better basic salary. To be honest I can’t really find any con’s to leaving

I was not aware that Qualified Drivers couldn’t now transfer over to RPS with DB. With no final salary scheme they will really struggle to retain newly Qualified Drivers and also struggle to recruit already Qualified Drivers.

Both advertisements have now been removed, that was very short lived.

New trainee positions just posted online. Get those applications in fast if interested as it will close early. https://www.firstgroupcareers.com/company/firsttranspennineexpress/home/ Good luck

I’m not 100% sure but I’ve heard it’s flat rate plus a £125 booking on fee. Maybe someone with better knowledge can correct me

Does anyone know what the parking situation is like at Liverpool Lime Street? Do they have staff parking or is it just park in the City where possible

Is it true TPE get time and 3/4, minimum 10 hours on rest days?

Just noticed Avanti are advertising for Qualified Drivers at Lime Street. Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on both Avanti and TPE at Lime Street, including t&c’s, shift patterns, routes signed, holiday allowance and anything else in general. Also the pro’s and Con’s of each...

Do these advertisements usually close early once they get an influx of applicants like the trainee positions?

I started the 10 week course when my daughter was only 4 weeks old, best time of my life with all the peace and quiet haha. Jokes aside though, I feel that with this job I get to spend so much time with family, I’m forever dropping the kids at school or picking them up. The time off is also...
