I've been invited to an assessment day for the role of Trainee Depot Operations Controller at the new depot at Three Bridges. I know what the job involves, and i am pleased it includes driving trains albeit only at the depot, but also controlling trains.
What i did want to know however was if annual salary increases gradually as it does with train drivers - which was my original choice. I just couldn't turn down an opportunity to work so heavily with trains at just the right moment in my life. As it's always been a passion. Starting salary is said to ne around £23,000 p.a rising to around £37,000 upon completion of training. But as Depot Operations Controller is there any room for promotion? Is the pay similar and does ot increase at the rate a train drivers pay does?
Many thanks
