Sundays are included as part of the working week.

Overtime/Rest Day work is flat rate, no enhancements like book on fee either.

Like others have highlighted, the work at Willesden is extremely intensive. 100+ stops a day is the norm with PNBs normally less than an hour.

The pay is great, the free oyster card for you and a nominee also amazing, but do consider the intensity of the work before you decide if its for you.

Salary is based off 34hr week also.

Living in London that Oyster card (plus a nominee) is worth its weight in gold for me. Plus we have free reciprocal travel on other Arriva Tocs:
• Grand Central
• Cross Country
• Chiltern

So, just to clarify with that 34hr week. Yes it is less then most TOCS, but I think it’s important to clarify that the work is absolutely condensed. For example where you might have an 8.30 diagram; you are literally non stop for all of it bar a 45min-1hr break. Other TOCS might be an 9.30 or even 10hr diagram, but you have 20/30 min turnarounds etc so really you could actually be driving for nearly half the time in some cases!

Yup thats like my current toc, you could possibly do 3 or 4 trips on a 8 hour job and we also get 20mins turn around time in between
