    Depot to Mainline only in the future?

    GWR have started doing it in locations where they have depot drivers. But as I said upthread, Great Eastern/One/NXEA/GA did it this way for years on the GE side of things.

    Depot to Mainline only in the future?

    They always used to do this on the GE side, then moved away from it. So looks like they're back to it

    DCR Groundstaff

    I frequently see posts from a guy who's DCR groundstaff on LinkedIn, and seems like he gets where water doesn't! London based, but he has been to pretty much every railhead that DCR use. Previous adverts have posted pay around the £38k + allowances mark.

    Heavy Haul Mendip Trainee vacacies

    Unfortunately I'm not sure tbh, I have never done enhanced tests so can't comment All I know is if you have passed, if you retake them and fail, you lose your initial pass

    Unfortunately, it poses the risk that you could lose your "pass" status and be removed

    Network Rail HGV driver

    Is it direct with NR? I know NTS division of DHL Supply Chain have the NR contract, so every chance it would be through them or an agency partner.

    Thanks for the clarification. Same principle applies for fleet/pool cars as vans. Manual petrol cars are cheap, plentiful and everyone can drive them
