Driver. No word about start date but they’d need to allow for three months anyway.

It went well thanks. It’s difficult to say though, isn’t it? I’ve had stinkers and got through…others I’ve aced and got a dear John lol

Thank you :)

Ok, final call please, for those in the know! … …I’ve got an interview tomorrow morning.

You’re welcome Dont want to put a downer on it, but at my depot getting a lieu day is a task. I get knocked back consistently, and I ask for things like a Tuesday night! Your lieu day will disappear into the ether if you don’t ’take’ it. They will rarely carry forward and you need managers...

Overtime is straight time. It sucks. I won’t do any overtime for less than 12 hours pay. Most of our jobs are over ten, anyway. It’s a healthy salary though, so you could easily manage with a few RDW a month. Rostering is an utter lottery. It all comes down to what you sign and the depot work...

Thanks for confirming Any Lumo guys able to shed some light on my money-grabbing questions?

Good question. Hopefully someone can verify that. I think i read that they are, im unsure though.

Can any Lumo drivers help me out, please? Is the salary circa 68k? Has that been agreed for 25/26, or is there a new pay deal offered? With it being April and all Is there a rdw min payment, or is it straight hours worked? Is Sunday part of the working week? What are the weekly contracted...

Hi, I'm thinking about applying for an internal transfer. I've tried to collate some info re traction and routes etc, great help from this forum especially. Are these details correct? : GLQ to EDB: 385 GLQ to ANL: 156,158,170 GLQ to ALO: 385 STG to PTH: ? GLQ to OBN: 153, 156 *Edit...

Hi, I would appreciate any information regarding DRS Driver's role at Motherwell please. Traction, shifts, routes, rostering etc. Thank you.

Awesome, cheers.

No use of the Mobile at all in the cab (Must be switched off). It can only be used when you are in a safe position outside of the cab environment. I've eaten a sandwich in cab when I've not had a chance to eat it otherwise, when trains stopped etc, :|, the stuff you see in cabs is...

It's 3%. :) As already mentioned, a good starting point in ScotRail. Just avoid schoolies, junkies, football fans, and businessmen and you shouldn't get into too many arguments :lol:. Apply for other jobs after six months and you should recover in good time, if you manage to get one.

I would say that you're spot on with that one. It certainly accounts for a fair few.

It seems that you are willing to travel to get a driver job so obviously this increases your chances. The chance of getting Inverness seems small but they might offer you elsewhere in Scotland, considering that you are all but medically through. As you're probably well aware, plenty of jobs...

Hi, I don't know anything about the role you've applied for but it's always an idea if you can go to Queen St and talk to someone in the role already. They love that kind of thing at FSR, maybe more for internal staff though, but check it out, can't do any harm. Just soak up the info on the...

Some have just gone up internally. I haven't checked the FSR website to see if they're up there. Inverness and Perth, I believe.

I'm a trainee Driver and I'm well into my thirties. If you want it badly enough you've a great chance of making it. Get any job in the railway you can, even if it means a drop in pay, get a good reputation, network (kiss anus), be prepared to relocate, study for all the assessments and...
