Potentially move to a long distance operator, then transfer internally (hard to advise without knowing the locations in question) Or target one of the 'starter' operators wherever it is you want to live, where they may be more flexible about relocation.

There’s a pinned thread at the top of the forum which shows where every depot covers.

Much more difficult. More easier to qualify then move as you’d have to start your training all over again

The actual driving licence doesn’t change at all. Some TOCs may treat a DI who has had one incident instructing and one incident driving in a different way than they’d treat someone who’d both of the same incidents whilst driving (there’d be different factors in play and different NTS failures...

From a current advert... Becoming a Driver with CrossCountry not only bring you security, safety and strength in a known operator, you will receive excellent benefits and a competitive starting salary of: £54,977pa for experienced drivers without core routes and traction £59, 990pa with...

Hi, Apologies if this is in the wrong place. I was wondering if anyone had information about the work content etc for Drivers based out of Nottingham for EMR? I'm after things like routes and traction signed, size of depot, number of Drivers etc. Do EMR still use their 'Service Driver'...

Two of us went north, one went south.

Don't listen to all the negativity. I moved after 10 months qualified. Another person on my course moved after 2 years and a third one after about 2.5 years qualified. It can and has been done.

Starting from October.

Good evening, I'm taking part in The Brighton Marathon on Sunday 9th April 2017. Every hotel in Brighton is many many pounds. Any suggestions please on somewhere else I can stay which will allow me to reach Brighton for 08:30 at the very latest. (Yes, I know timetables for April aren't...
