The changes that GTR want to make are now going through a public consultation on the new timetables and this will be over the next 3 months so more will be know and hopefully numbers at depots can be clarified round about September.
They will most probably want Sundays in the working week but...
3 depot drivers are on the May 3rd course and no other course for may is scheduled.
Next course for Bedford is July and yes I am a trainee and it is a very good source for this info
8 months into my training and im out with my DI now
the group a month behind us had 9 in it and there was only 1 DI available so names went in a hat for him which leaves the other 8 just waiting and front ending until other DI's are available which could be anything from a month to a few...
Classes are a maximum of 8 people and can be Bedford and Blackfriar drivers and the courses are normally 4 weeks apart,
I should also add courses have been held back due to not having enough trainers and with 2 weeks annual leave being taken it can be understandable,
just keep your chins up...
