    Avanti Qualified Drivers - Euston, Wolves and Liverpool (06/03/2024)

    Is there staff parking at Euston & regarding the taxi agreement when on an early turn & you can't get in, I assume that's from home to work? Thanks

    Arriva -New Cross Gate

    Think it's highly intensive stopping work bit like a tube driver, but may be wrong.

    SWR / Southern Drivers

    Thanks for the replies & help guys - much appreciated. Guess I'll just keep plugging away and hope something comes up at some point! I'm actually happy at my current TOC but not happy with my commute lol and the work/life balance is suffering a bit so looking for the change. Cheers

    SWR / Southern Drivers

    Good Morning, Would anyone have any information (even speculative!) regarding whether SWR or Southern may be recruiting qualified drivers in the near future? Looking in and around the London area. Tried contacting their respective HR departments a while ago and am still none the wiser! Cheers

    Around 90 Guards/Commercial Guards needed at SWR before December 2022

    Would more drivers be needed too potentially?

    Qualified Vs Apprentice positions

    Thanks for the insight. Whenever I've approached HR they always just say keep checking their recruitment website even after sending a CV and highlighting my experience. I'd be looking at a London depot (preferably outer London towards the south) as recently moved so craving an easier commute...

    Qualified Vs Apprentice positions

    Exactly my thoughts! I would like to try move TOC's yet its proving impossible as one (GTR) apparently hardly ever recruits qualified drivers and think it's fairly rare for the other (SWR) to go down this route too (hopefully I'm wrong!) Would love to know generally speaking why this is the...

    Greater Anglia - Trainee Drivers - Multiple Locations (14/01/22)

    Exactly what Im thinking. The phrase 'once you get your key the worlds your oyster' doesn't seem to be quite true but guess it depends on where you are based and what you're looking for. I've contacted several of what may be perceived as the less desirable London TOC's to work for and got told...

    Staff residential travel

    Hi, the ticket is going to be for Edenbridge (any) as there are two stations in the town to London Terminals valid on National Rail only. I would like to travel from Purley occasionally which located between my home station and London. Many thanks

    Staff residential travel

    Thanks for that. The station I wish to use occasionally due to start times at my work place is geographically located between my 'home' and 'end' station but not directly on the line I use most frequently so assume I can still use this for travel? I live just outside the London area & will be...

    Staff residential travel

    Hi, I have a residential season ticket (staff travel). Am I able to use it to enter/exit another station that is on/within my route? (Obviously one that is not further on from my place of residence/work) Many Thanks
