GWR Bristol Driver Depot

[OpsWeb]

Hi,

Can anyone please advise about the GWR Bristol TM depot with regard to the following:

- Current "qualified" salary for entry-level drivers. ASLEF state around £45k
- Is the pension the standard RPS final salary scheme (that I could transfer an existing RPS final salary pension into)
- Are Sundays outside the working week?
- Are the rosters the standard pattern (i.e. long weekend every 3 weeks)?

Thanks in advance for all your help

Hi, yes qualified is £45k, final salary railway pension, Sundays outside working week and yes indeed every third weekend is long weekend 5 off

Nice one, thanks. Thought I would do my research before I apply for the "Qualified drivers talent pool"!

Is Bristol / GWR OK to work for? I'm coming from another (former) First franchise!

Thanks again!
