    Tyne and Wear Metro recruiting new trainee drivers

    Sorry chief - I’ve waited two years, had first round failures at Doncaster on testing & then had offers from both northern & metro to join up - I’m as nervous as a fat kid on a diet in a maccie D’s :-) Here if I can be of help for advice though.

    Yeah probably Heworth near the station or somewhere with free parking. There are spaces dotted about but it’ll be a right bugger to get one.
