Scotrail is desperate for drivers, hundreds leaving for Transpennnine, Virgin & freight. Morale at an all time low amongst drivers, jobs are the worst they've been in my 15 years, no investment from Abellio, the trains are being held together by the dirt on them. What depot would you fancy...

There's over 30 scotrail drivers waiting in a Q to move to queen st so it won't be there.

Glasgow drivers (actually freightliner drivers) currently only go to Carlisle. there isn't actually a glasgow depot isn't yet. Suprised they are looking for trainees in glasgow with the amount of qualified drivers that applied for the positions not to mention the current freightliner drivers...

You could apply for any train driver job when you're qualified

Based at Glasgow central and yeah i applied for the mossend job.

Freightliner have trainee driver jobs advertised on the website again, intermodal & Heavy Haul. https://www.freightliner.co.uk/group/careers/careers-in-the-uk/

Mate, no point in listening to random strangers on an internet forum, most know next to nothing. The only way to find out info is by actually speaking to a db driver, try arrange a wee visit to a depot.

Who do you work for now if you don't mind me asking?

Thought max turn length at FLIM was 11 hrs. Suppose the weekend work is depot dependant but i know up here in the 13 week roster they have 0 sundays 1 5hr Saturday morning turn amd 1 Saturday spare.

Doubt all you want, its a fact! Part of a pay deal, 20hrs per year for late running and report wtiting.

At scotrail you're lucky to be paid overtime if your late in, apparantly theres 20hrs per year for this scenario.

47k basic wage for a job with next to no weekend work is hardly rubbish. They make more than a scotrail driver.

DRS not even make the final cut? haha

I don't know what TOC you work for but it sounds like you've landed lucky. Any bothy I've been in guys from other depots of the same company get treated like **** Most bothys have rat traps everywhere & stinking toilets that constantly run short of bog roll and soap. The cheapest I've ever seen...

I can't give you any info but i know you'll be told on here "don't do it" Use the search function and there's lots of similar threads that'll give you sone info mate.

See 86's coming & going from coatbridge reguarly

Working for scotrail 4 & a half to 5 hours in the seat is very common (give or take a couple of minutes changing ends). I almost made the jump tp DRS 6 years ago but decided to stay on the passenger side. Freightliner intermodal out of coatbridge anyeay seem to have quite a bit of work that...

Cheers bud. Did you leave for another freight job or to go pass?

Any drivers work for freightliner ltd? (Pref mossend) just looking for sone info and the job most importantly pay and time off. Pm would be great.
