Gonna have to be more specific.

Gonna have to be more specific.

Starting salary as a trainee train driver. And increments going forward until fully qualified.

I meant be more specific because there's two entities within FL - both paying differently

 

[Luckyflames]

I’m not really sure. I applied to gwrr.co.uk

Are you likely to be at an intermodal (containers) or heavy haul (stone etc) depot?

 

[Luckyflames]

They’ve asked me for depot preference. I told them Tilbury west Thurrock or London Gateway.

So IM then

If you look in the main FL thread, it's on the first post.

As a rough guide it's 22.5k (to week 12) then 29k (to qualification)

Think yourself lucky, HH is less

I'm sure it has been mentioned, in a different thread, that FL provide a car during training. I'm not waiting for a course but am intrigued to know if this is true, and if there are other perks during the training (which might help explain why the training wage is set as low as it is)?

 

[Luckyflames]

And after qualified !! ?

Think I’ll hold out for Southern

22k for 12 week, 29k until qualify then around 52k, HH is around 22k until qualified then up to around 57500, usually takes around 10-12 months all in, depending on amount of mentors available when coming to handling hours.

I'm in a course at present, will be IM driver. I'd suggest taking the opportunity if it arises. We're not paid brilliantly for the training but have no costs whilst away. Get food allowance, hire car etc. We have been really well looked after and trained. Can't recommend it enough.

Wouldn’t recommend holding out for something which may never arrive!
Take the opportunity as thousands would give their right arm to be in your position

would give their right arm to be in your position

Hope not considering they would need their right arm to operate the class 66s reverser

Probably better off going to southern. Given how little you know about the company you've applied for, you wouldn't make it past the interview.

Then hold out and hope you get the role.

Obviously I will research as and when. But thank you so
Much for your input.
