Have you landed a job as a trainee driver?Hi all. Hoping someone could give me some guidance. I’m looking to see what the salary is for Northern when your start out as a trainee driver and what each annual increment is. Also is the annual increment a guaranteed? Thanks for any advice.
Good luck......you will enjoy it. By the time you actually get to pass out from training, the base salary should be a bit more than £54500. Sundays are also outside the working week as it stands now, so you will get paid overtime for working them.Ok thank you. I will be posted at Victoria
Appreciate it. Thank youFrom memory first year 21700 after one 43400 then 47000 then full whack (currently 54500) give me a shout if you need anything
Nice one cheersManchester Stations
Salary details:
£22,634 per annum during training - approx 12 months
Rising to £43,198 in Year 1
Rising to £47,413 in Year 2
Rising to £54,500 in Year 3 onwards.
Pretty sure they are guaranteed incremental rises, tied with time served i.e. salary with rise in year 1 even if you haven’t passed out within 12 months of starting. Someone shout me down if I’m wrong.
September I’ll be starting. How many courses do Northern run? I’ve heard of a course starting in August, September and November.Are you starting training next month?
The only exception being if you fail the passout.Manchester Stations

What happened? I’ve heard of union stepping in and advocating for the trainee before but not actually being kicked off :/I only know of them implementing it once.
There was a few where they tried to stop the money going up but ASLEF got their money put up.What happened? I’ve heard of union stepping in and advocating for the trainee before but not actually being kicked off :/
Did they get another shot at passing out? Or was employment terminated?There was a few where they tried to stop the money going up but ASLEF got their money put up.
This particular trainee failed the pass out so they stopped the money going up at the 12 month mark.
Yeah they went back to training school and had another two attempts.Did they get another shot at passing out? Or was employment terminated?
Hope they passed! Scary position to be in.Yeah they went back to training school and had another two attempts.
