Sounds good, I was planning on using the train while on my training course, would be surprised if they allow me free travel. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- £25k! it was 23 something when I had my interview, big rise:) Do you know what new starters will get?

Do Metrolink drivers get free use of public transport when commuting to and from work? What is the pay up to at the moment?

I was told when we did the tests the start date was 16th December. I have just spoken to them but no one was available in HR so left a message and they will ring me back tomorrow. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- They are sending my contract out end of December early January. Start...

Where's my contract, suspense is killing me!

Hopefully I should start on 16th December too. How long after you passed the medical did you get your start date? I am waiting anxiously for postman every day!

Passed medical today, just waiting to hear from Metrolink to find out when I start, can't wait.

They said after I answered that question that they never expect drivers to drive while tired and that you need to contact them if you are feeling tired. Have you started your training yet?

Thanks Mattm123, I went for the job earlier this year and passed on the tests, but a week later I had the interview and I must have answered some questions wrong as I wasn't successful. One of the questions I think I got wrong was if you are feeling tired when driving a tram what would you do, I...
