Southern trainee train drivwr talent pool

[SecretSquirrel]

Just trying guage the amount of people in pools foe trainee train driver at the moment with Southern, which depots and how long currently waiting. Curious to see how many of us are waiting. Obviously these things take time to go through at the best of time and with the way things are currently, a further delay could occur.

Note: if this is in the wrong place/not an acceptable thread please remove if required.

Three Bridges and Redhill probably gave far fewer vacancies than Selhurst

I assumed that would probably be the case. I put Selhurst as my first option so hopefully that will help?

The big depots that have high turnover have the most vacancies, so Selhurst/Norwood and Brighton would have the most, then likely followed by Barnham, London Vic, London Bridge and Eastbourne. My understanding is that Redhill, Three Bridges and Epsom are quite popular and therefore drivers usually transfer from within to fill any vacancies and then Southern backfill the biggest depots as above. Hope that helps

Cheers mate, makes perfect sense to me. Just a waiting game now.
