Best bet is to apply for qualified driver at Leeds then put a transfer to Skipton in. A few are leaving Skipton shortly plus they need more for the supernumerary link too. Might be best to apply directly for Skipton and see what they say.

I'm in the talent pool for LNER and that's only six months

Northern were the best TOC with the best traction, until they got rid of the 142/144 sets

Around 68000 but after overtime we'll into the 70's

Nothing is bad about LNER but to call them the Premier TOC is an insult to the rest of the rail industry. Every TOC's employees have the same skill set, no matter what grade you are. The only difference driver wise is that LNER get paid more, a factor in this is your terms and conditions which...

Sorry but LNER are not the premier TOC just saying ha ha

If you think LNER are the premier TOC then ha ha

The whole VTEC recruitment process has been an absolute joke for qualified drivers and externals. It would have been nice for VTEC to mention that if you're a qualified driver and you have had an incident (no matter how minor) then we'll still waste 6 months of your life trying to apply. So you...

Wonder if it's worth asking for front ending authority, by the time you finish you'll know London York inside out

I m not going to beat around the bush here guys but (shock, horror) I applied. Got past the assessment stage, and was asked to fill in the transfer of safety information form. I had an incident , Bingley train crash 2013, so had to put it on the form. I received the certificate of commendation...

I might be wrong but do you commute from London to York daily

Anyway let's face it Sir Richard Brandon would have to kiss my arse before I would even consider driving for Jungfrau (look it up Deutsch!)

If you've had the medical and passed you've got nothing to worry about I'm talking about people who've not heard anything

Harrogate will need more drivers but unfortunately they will be sourced from Arriva Rail North Leeds drivers I'm afraid, it's a tough depot to get into

I probably think that chuggington hasn't heard anything. The reason I say this is because last week I pulled into Knaresboro station and there were a group of people in Virgin uniform on the platform who were observing my shunt move over the viaduct. After speaking to them on the platform they...

Harrogate is a satellite depot of Leeds and as correctly stated they only drive Leeds York via Harrogate. A very desirable place to be due to route and shift patterns and the Harrogate way of life. However if the odd vacancy does arise once a blue moon this is offered to the senior link 1 driver...

Excellent post, only time will tell as to whether these 'tree hugging' sessions will actually work or not. I don't know of any other TOC that uses these methods. Normally it's a driver manager interview where you have to give examples of dealing with emergencies, times you have done shift work...
