Hello, I have just left BG as a Gas Engineer after 13 years service. I am also 32 years old and it was a big decision for myself to leave. I am currently training to be a train driver and started in May this year. My training salary lasts for 1 year, which brings home 2k after pension...

Hello All, I’v been offered a start date as a trainee driver for a depot that’s 25miles away from me. It’s about 40 minutes on a clear run, so around 1 hour 20 mins each day without traffic. Does anyone currently regularly commute this and how do you find it after driving a train all day...

Cambridge. I have just sent you a private message Aimeelou.

Great to hear from you Aimeelou & Rooney, I am also on the 11th May induction. What depots you both applied for?

Hi All, Just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone on this forum, it has been so helpful. I just wondered if anyone has been given a start date this May? Thanks

Have you left your current job or has your contract started with your Train Operating Company?

Good Afternoon, Was wondering if anyone who applied for this role at Cambridge in 2018 ever got offered a course after passing the assessments & interviews? Cheers

Hey Need2, Just to let you know I have sent you a private message if you get chance to have a look. Many Thanks

Thanks for all the info. I have checked my emails, but haven’t received anything. The depot I have been waiting on is Cambridge though. Do you think it would be worth me sending them a message?

Hello, Thanks in advance for anyone who may be able to help answer my question. Does anyone know what the shift pattern is like for train drivers at Cambridge or WGC Depots working for GTR? Appreciate any help. Thanks

What did the email say out of interest?

Thank you for all your time in replying, this is really useful. If the money was the same pay, would you say that GA is a better place to work than GTR?

Yes I am looking at Cambridge, which is on the West Anglia side I believe?

Has anyone heard anymore on this at all? I completed my assessments and MMI. Last time I spoke to recruitment they said they had no more courses at the moment.

I am after some advice and appreciate anyone who has time to reply, so thank you in advance. I am trying to find out the main differences between working for Greater Anglia as a driver compared to working for Great Northern GTR I can see GTR’s base pay is 63,196 from October Greater Anglia...
