    Lumo - Apprentice Customer Driver - Newcastle (13/03/24)

    Incorrect, there are a good number of Ex Metro and Qualified Drivers at LUMO who were recruited. Given its an extra from Dec and an extension to Glasgow (Potentially) I belive they require more than 3 however some have already been recruited internally and 1 or 2 qualified positions already...

    DTM Role

    I have recently been offered an interview for a DTM (Driver Team Manager) role. I've searched here a little but in terms of interview questions, information and experiences it tends to be aimed at Drivers and Apprenticeship to a degree. Has anyone experienced this role, types of questions and...

    Lumo - Apprentice Customer Driver - Newcastle (13/03/24)

    Lumo Drivers sign both Newcastle to King's Cross and Newcastle to Edinburgh. Far as I'm aware there is only one link.

    Lumo - Apprentice Customer Driver - Newcastle (13/03/24)

    Your more looking around the £64-£65k Mark for a Qualified driver for LUMO. Unsure if there is an incremental structure for apprenticeship

    Grand Central Adelante - Best route to avoid the Voyager?

    The only reason why Voyagers don't go to Sunderland is because Drivers are not signed on that Traction. I believe there has been a similar thread to this previously where it was mentioned 221s can go via Durham Coast. As for XC I can not comment however I'd imagine it's to do with Traincrew...

    Lumo - Apprentice Customer Driver - Newcastle (13/03/24)

    Possibly a picky approach for what ever reason. I've heard a fair few have applied this time round but also not forgetting ex DB and Freightliner are looking for employment. All in all I've heard a few from TPE, Northern and GC collectively have applied. Makes you wonder.

    Toc to Open Access

    This keeps getting raised and I understand the argument, however remember Wrexham and Shropshire only lasted a mater of months where LUMO been running 3 years now and GC since early 2000. In regards to the Blackpool route, that's different as it's not a new company it was a route. Those who were...
