    Trainee driver GTR

    Ref the training pay, I start with Southern shortly and the letter states £24,300 (rounded up a little). Not sure if it's different for TL etc though. Good luck for those of you going through the tests, just practice and relax, don't try to rush them on the day.

    Ex police as Train Drivers - Benefits

    I'm making the move also, soon to be ex-copper to trainee train driver. Looking forward to the change having served 14 years in the police. Fed up with my pay decreasing (after increased pension and N/I contributions) and diminishing 'career' prospects, cancelled rest days due to operations...
