They wouldn’t have filled the roles that quickly as it only recently shut.
They probably just need a few Qualified Drivers for a quick fix whilst they train up new Drivers.
Like most companies at the moment they probably have a lot of people coming up to retirement.
Northern currently recruiting for Qualified Drivers at various locations:

I’m guessing this will be different depending on location and routes but can anyone provide an average time scale it would...
Just wondering if anyone has had any luck recently with emailing HR departments a CV without an actual Qualifed Driver job being live on a company website.
It would be good to know if this is even still a thing that can be done.
I’ve been with DB for over 4 years, clean record and been turned down by 2 separate companies in the last 6 months, on initial application, no tests or interviews. Now that’s a reality check and worrying!
I heard that the Union might potentially look to find employment with other companies for Drivers being made redundant. It would be good if this is the case as it saves people being out of work.
Avanti have just posted for Qualified Drivers again at London Euston, closing date 16th September
