Hi guys. I do not seem to have the link mentioned from Acorn either. I applied Monday. I wonder if it is something they introduced later in the week. No questionnaire for me. What kind of things was it asking?

Thanks CJ. I appreciate your advice. So to your knowledge, there is a gradual increase in salary. as opposed to going from 21k to 50K on completion of training like the advert suggest. I am based in Liverpool so Liverpool would be my obvious depot but manchester and Wigan may be possible to...

Hey guys First time poster and hoping someone could help. I have wanted to pursue a career as a train driver for a few years now and think now be the time. The only thing stopping me is my financial commitments. I have a mortgage and a kid and I understand you have to have a drop in salary...
