    The GTR talent pool.

    Highly unlikely you will get Luton as displaced drivers from Bedford and Blackfriars will have first choice to go there - realistically you may get St Albans ( if it happens) but more than likely Cricklewood when that comes to fruition - exisiting drivers don't even know their future yet

    About to start driver training and not excited

    I think it is natural to be apprehensive - I know I am and I start in January after 27 years of one career where I became a Senior Manager and generally got the time off I needed and a decent wage but got fed up of working well above my hours for no reward. I'm looking forward to the change...
