Reservist Duties alongside primary role as a Train Driver

[Maverick88]

As per the title of the thread, can anybody give any clarity on whether or not TOC policies permit reservist duties whilst working as a train driver? Cheers.

At my TOC certainly so as the driving grade terms and conditions book has a section detailing various types of release (paid and unpaid) for various duties such as jury service, reservist duties, civic duties etc.

Regards.

Don't quote me on it but sure there is something in place for scheduled reservist duties. Any particular TOC

I remember training for the rmr and it was quite difficult to fit round the shifts especially finishing at 2130 and being up at 4,5am for work so chucked it in.
Also bare in mind you'll have to use your own leave allocation for most of the weeks off etc, may be different at other tocs.
Fine if you're single but with family etc its logistically quite difficult.
Must say I loved it though and miss it and would go back in a heartbeat if I wasnt too old lol

I take it by your picture you are already a serving reservist or service leaver and just wondering if you can continue serving

Former regs. Just keeping options open. Always worth having an escape plan.
