Hey all!
Recently the idea of quitting my current job to look for a career on the railway has been gaining more traction (I'm so sorry, that's the first and last. Promise )
I currently work in marketing and promotions in Crawley, but I am a Norwich boy. I use the Norwich - Liverpool Street route to come back obviously and I think I'm in love with the class 90 and especially the newly upgraded 1st Class carriages. (But that's off topic)
Looking through this site I have had quite a few of my questions answered. However, I'm still left with a few unanswered ones. They are the following:
1) What's the salary for a Guard/Conductor working for Abellio Greater Anglia?
2) How long does the training take for this role?
3) How did any current/previous/new conductors go about route learning?
4) If you gain a job with AGA which routes would you also be expected to learn and then eventually sign?
5) Is checking tickets etc mandatory or totally left up to the discretion of the Guard?
These are such newbie questions, but I'm struggling to find answers and this is the best place to go!
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
