That myth as well as many others were put to bed in this thread from 2 months ago. Some insight was provided by LUMO drivers which might be helpful:
They got plenty, just ignored us for months. Then sent out a wedge of "thanks but no thanks"
Ahh that doesn’t sound too bad, I guess it’s better than just typing it in a box on an application like a few places do. Thanks
I've just completed the assesment and i must say its one of the more difficult ones compared to other pre sifting assessments for driver jobs.
I would guess so because if not that would be one of the lowest paid in the industry. I think on another thread I've seen a Lumo driver say its 60K+ qualified. https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/lumo-qualified-driver-newcastle-17-01-24.261291/
That's what I was thinking. Surely it would be more than that
I did see £61,500 a while back as a qualified wage
Your more looking around the £64-£65k Mark for a Qualified driver for LUMO. Unsure if there is an incremental structure for apprenticeship
Possibly because qualified drivers may well come with ASLEF membership. I believe Lumo still don’t recognise trade unions. I know it went to arbitration but not sure of the outcome. I’m sure someone may have up to date info.
4th July 2023 the application was accepted.
Lumo Drivers sign both Newcastle to King's Cross and Newcastle to Edinburgh. Far as I'm aware there is only one link.4th July 2023 the application was accepted.

Just out of interest does anyone know for Lumo drivers sign all way from Edinburgh-Kings Cross or is there 2 links were half do Edinburgh-Newcastle and half do Kings Cross- Newcastle?
See the driver depot thread at the top of the Careers section. There is one link and all drivers sign Edinburgh - Kings Cross as well as the Hertford Loop and York Avoiding lines.
I've just done the assessment and agreed with you.
What were the online assessments made up of?
It was just a load of paragraphs and you need to select best and least best responses what you would do in that scenario
It's a straightforward process. You get a minute to read the question and record an answer up to 3 mins long. If you don't like the first recorded answer you can try again, but you can only keep the second recording if you bin the first. You can watch the first recording back but there is a short countdown also going on while you're watching it. If you don't make a decision on trying again it will save the one you just did.
