Gs1. Some TOCS have toilets on board their trains that can be used when / if you have sufficient ‘dwell time’ at a station or when changing ends at a terminus station. On occasions, trains can run early due to a variety of unforeseen reasons and you arrive at a calling point early thus...

Some underground lines have ATO (automatic train operation) with on board signalling and self driving systems.

****Him or Her**** That was one of my original questions about the type of contract a GTR TL CDM is on to answer the points on overtime, RDW, BH’s and Sunday’s etcetc. From what I understand a CDM role is pretty much Monday to Friday with no weekend work or bank holidays included. I didn’t know...

Alright, thanks.

The last qualified driver advert for LNER was December 2019 and those successful still haven’t started yet! A few of them are yet to complete a medical, yet alone be given start dates and serve lengthy notice periods at their current TOCS / FOCS.

LNER today have advertised for Driver Team Managers at London Kings Cross, Newcastle & Leeds. Closing date 05/10/2020.

Way too soon after the closing date for any replies. Lots of sifting to do as well as current recruitment for trainee drivers, driver management and other roles recently advertised. Plus COVID slowing things down. Take a seat for the long haul!
