Hi all,

I’ve been offered a qualified position with Colas rail. I currently work for heavy haul (formally Freightliner) I was just wondering from any current drivers what it’s like to work there?

I’m thinking in terms of annual leave, t&c’s, management style etc. any help or opinions are welcome!

Hi all, I'm a qualified driver looking at a few roles with Colas - Driver Infrastructure Monitoring. Does anyone have any experience working for them positive or negative, perhaps I could ask you a few questions if you're still in role? Also, I'm aware their pension no longer allows new entrants with railpen, can someone explain what the current setup is for that?

Thanks

Hello mate, I'm applying to Colas for a Driver Infrastructure Monitoring role, would you be able to offer any insight as a new entrants yourself as to how it is working for them?
