It's wild, you could start anywhere from 3.30am to 9pm, no shift allowance

Sorry if this has already been posted. Fill your boots.... https://careers.firstgroup.co.uk/jobs/trainee-tram-driver-croydon-united-kingdom-96072091-a8c2-4dcd-b350-76ecab319a21

I was thinking initially of taking one new street to Euston train away each hour - but immediately I can see how that would be disastrous! I'm glad that has already been another thread on this. I'll have a good look at that :)

I think it would be great if the Milton Keynes to East Croydon service was reinstated and also made more frequent than hourly - possibly by being converted to Overground. I think if popular, it could take pressure off Euston whilst we wait for HS2. In addition, is there any possibility of a...

Sometimes the 'next stop' information glitches out and that can be resolved with a complete power down and power up of the tram. So I've heard

So hopefully that means there will be a handful of k4000s up for grabs right? Even if they're no good they could be cannibalised for spares surely

The first assessment for tfl is pretty straightforward, just hammer the practice material and you'll be fine (unless the assessment is different now). Tube driver roles are internal only so you would need to 'get a foot in the door' first. As for Train Operating Companies it would be better to...

What about Ontrak recruitment? I think they still supply station staff to TOCs and they're an agency so might be good for casual work

As far as I know trainee driver psychometric tests use Group Bourdon / trp 1 and trp 2 instead of Scaat / Raat and hence you'd start afresh
