    Freightliner Driver Jobs

    Avanti and TPE Liverpool Lime Street

    Im just sat with a colleague who has applied to TPE as a qualified driver. Does anyone know what TPE send as online test? He has received one to do but it doesn't say what it is. I didn't think they'd send tests out to qualified's but obviously they do..

    DB Cargo - Trainee Train Driver (2021/2022)

    No idea, but I presume some depots only have mainline drivers due to either size of depot (driver does any shunting) or the nature of the depot attending? I could be way off, but obviously only some depots have junior/depot drivers, others go straight to mainline and much higher wage with it.

    Non-Police to Train Driver

    It would appear that police and emergency services are looked upon favourably by TOC's judging by this forum. Why is that?

    Avanti - Trainee Train Driver - Wolverhampton (17/01/22)

    For standard you'll likely need 9 lines with no errors or emissions so for Enhanced I'd assume 11 lines at a complete guess.
