    Southern have opened a new Trainee Train Driver Vacancy for all LONDON DEPOTS

    We are recruiting 200 drivers alone this year and the volume of applicants is far more than a 1000. Speaking of volumes that's the main issue here is getting through them all. Sit tight and hopefully receive some good news soon

    Northern and living outside 60 minutes

    Ideally want to stay on the passenger side of things and where we are looking move I would be in 30 minutes of lime street. Want the best work life balance I can.

    Southern application

    Somewhat a national problem, what you will find with the TOC mentioned is that they're trying to get the compliment of staff for the franchise takeover and we simply don't have the facilities to cater for such a mass recruitment. It varies hugely within TOCs as well as between them for...
