As mentioned in a previous post the 40K train manager jobs are the guards on LNER with additional responsibilities not Driver Team Managers I believe at LNER they are on about mid 70k. The traditional route for a driver if they wanted to progress is normally Driver Instructor, Driver Team...

Liverpool St (West Anglia) they cover Liverpool St to Cambridge/Stansted/Hertford etc. Liverpool St (Anglia) they cover the other side So Liverpool St - Norwich etc As a driver depending on which side you pick your will not mix work, you will work one side or the other. Also to note different...

If I remember right, Liverpool Street (Anglia) do London-Norwich route etc Liverpool Street (West Anglia) they do Liverpool St - Cambridge/Stansted as a driver you won't mix between the two you'll do one or the other

https://jobs.deutschebahngroup.careers/en_US/jobsGlobal/JobDetail/Apprentice-Train-Driver-Bristol-Cambridge-Derby-Leeds-Leicester-and-Newcastle-Depots/138461 Great opportunity, recruiting for a number of depots Bristol, Cambridge, Derby, Leeds, Leicester and Newcastle

Hey I saw this and was also thinking about applying. So they do the trainees initial training rules and traction amongst other operational training. I actually follow one of LNERs Training Delivery Managers on Twitter. I have a friend who is doing his hours now for LNER and he says all...

In all fairness, when Greater Anglia were looking for Qualified Drivers they had the advert open for like 6months+ but had the closing date advertised in 6months, East Coast should just do the same and put a closing date of like September or something.

Congratulations on your pass. I saw that they asked about TPWS, and I've seen people debate weather it should be asked or not.

28k to start Something like 35k once rules and traction passed 70k once passed out (normally 10-12 months but in this current covid climate I would extend that by a good few months) Not bad considering some TOCS make you wait a few years before you're on full whack

I imagine most of this would be down to retirement. TOCS like LNER/Avanti/XC previously didn't or had no need to recruit off the street, but I imagine with these tocs there will be a large amount of drivers that are approaching retirement or already at retirement age and can go just like that...

I would say it depends what you are interested in academically. That's the beauty of the railway you don't need a specific degree unless its an area that particularly requires specialist knowledge. You've probably already heard of the IRO, they do a range of qualifications, you don't need to...

As much as it would be nice to get feedback, don't C2C specify that if you don't hear from them after a certain time from the closing date then you've been unsuccessful.

We all know people have different opinions on the unions whether that be Aslef/RMT but in my opinion should give it serious consideration about joining. Now you mentioned about drivers doing other roles, I can see why they might be struggling to recruit qualified drivers, and I can see why they...

I see ECTL are again looking for qualified train drivers, sorry customer drivers and customer driver instructors. I take it they are struggling to recruit qualified drivers then, I would imagine this to be the case when you have a range of TOCs to choose from. Would this role be suited more for...

Like others have stated, as a qualified driver changing TOCs the main thing they will look at is your safety of the line record. How I understand it and from what I've been told, trainee drivers will now be apprenticeship drivers, and because it is an apprenticeship you have to have the...

Hi James, have a look at the IRO (Institution of Railway Operators) they do a range of academic qualifications including BSc in Railway Operations Management and they've also just started a MBA (Railway Operations). You will find that if a particular role needed a qualification it will be in...

Those who have started their training how is it going? Has training been affected by the COVID situation, future trainee driver vacancies etc

After all these years the wife has only just realised on the railways we get paid 13 times

Hey, LNERs last pay was 2nd October, next one is the 30th October, then 27 Nov 24 or 25 Dec and so on as like heedfan explained every 4 weeks on a friday

For those interested, recruiting for London, Leeds, Doncaster and Newcastle https://lnerjobs.co.uk/jobs/vacancy/trainee-driver-0401/419/description/

So recruiting for Newcastle at the moment, I wonder if they will recruit for Edinburgh/London, or if it will just be a Newcastle depot.
