East Coast drivers

[newuser76]

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had some insider info on East Coast's recruitment of qualified drivers at King's Cross.

i.e How many drivers are they looking to take on? and what are the turns like?
earliest book-on, late book-offs etc.

I'm thinking that the new service to lincoln will be one per hour??


Thanks in advance

Earliest book on circa 0530, latest day shift finish circa 0030.

Expect this to change for the worse with the new ECML timetable.

Lots of night & weekend work.

I wouldnt want my day shift to finish at 0030!! I think you mean PM turn!

The turns are traditionally known as earlies, middles, lates and nights...therefore any shift that isn't a night turn must be a day shift!!!

Doesn't matter what you call it. The issue for London depots is getting in or home.
