Driver jobs in Devon

[Nobby]

Hi all

I currently work as a qualified driver in Kent but will be relocating to Devon in the not too distant future. Whereabouts in Devon would depend on the locations of driver depots and the whole one hour travel distance.

I assume the TOC would be SWR? If anyone here works for them could you please tell me the location(s) of the driver depot(s)? I would also consider a driver job on freight aswell.

Thank you guys!

Otherwise GWR at Exeter & Plymouth and CrossCountry at Plymouth

Please do explore and make use of existing resources. As ever, it’s impossible to know when any given depot is next likely to be recruiting.
