Internal only sadly. Last time they had trainees was about 15 years ago. XC Brum has been short of drivers for ages due to other local TOCs salaries and Ts and Cs catching up and (allegedly) a rather fearsome head of drivers. The latest extention to the franchise has meant they have had to take this step it would seem.
This is likely to provoke a Wonka style scramble for the golden tickets, but rumours already abound that folk based at head office will get the nod and the ranks of guards and caterers will be largely ignored.
