If it was part time with a company and not an agency then I’m sure you’d still get all of that just not the full amount. yes mate I’m currently freight but making a move to passenger soon, I don’t really think you not knowing the traction and route would be an issue as they’d just train you on...

Not to sure, don’t think he said a name. I agree, some of the shifts can be bad enough, never mind them being all over the place for different company’s.

Agency, was working a box train for one company and then on a ballast the next night for another, says he covers GB, DRS, Db and FL, I’d never heard of it before I spoke to him.

100% is agency drivers, spoke to one in Wembley mess room not to long ago.

I’m not very clued up on it to be honest, I’m a driver my self that’s all. I don’t think company’s have an issue with it being done privately now, what it will do is more than likely give you a better chance of getting an interview quicker if you apply. The only company I know which do it is...

Yeah seems like they didn’t like the fact he did it privately, they don’t mind as much now.

He’s done his testing and passed it then obviously didn’t become a driver so now wants to sit the tests again as they are invalid after 2-5 years.

00:36 for some of us :(

Won’t be long now then mate! You’ll get plenty of time to have some time off

When did you have your stage 2 and DMI mate? What location? At the moment it’s mainly courses for depots like Trafford which are newly opened.

It’s for this reason I always carry plastic bags and baby wipes just in case, luckily haven’t had to use any yet!

Plunger.

65k on the ASLEF website, not sure if changes by depot.

Understandable mate but when that time comes, enjoy it! It’s worth the wait.

Don’t worry mate, it will all be worth it in the end!

Congrats mate, you’ve been swimming a while if I remember right, bet you can’t wait now!

Will see you around I’m sure mate! Welcome and good luck in your training!

Congratulations!!! Is your depot going to be Trafford Park? Is that as a trainee?

Beggy.

My daughter was born when I was on my training, at the beginning when I was offered the job they said no time off while training the same as your TOC, guess it’s just something that has to be done but as you’d agree it’s 100% worth it.
