    Abellio Greater Anglia- trainee train drivers/ trainee depot drivers

    Does this mean that whilst working those 8 weeks, you get no R/D at all, but you get a 2 week period of R/D at the end of those shifts? Also, you mention the pay increase has been agreed? Do you know when it comes into effect?
