Has anyone got a copy of some paperwork or job advert for LM stating the maximum commute distance/ time they are prepared to accept for a new entrant trainee driver?
I've seen other TOCs publish one hour travel time but I can't find it anywhere in writing from London midland
Anyone?

Why don't you call their HR and ask them?

Yes I've tried HR and I can't seem to get through.
I thought it might be easier to ask on here but it seems like no ones got it written down anywhere, unless the new starter has it?
I have heard everything between half hour and an hour which makes a big difference from where I live near Watford
Anyone?

They(tocs) almost all specify within 60 minutes commute. As Sir Topham Hat is ok with LM with a 1 hour commute i would say that's the answer.

Southern is 30 minutes but I know loads of drivers who live a lot further out. There's drivers from Selhurst who live in Ipswich, Peterborough and Colchester, and then VicPaul lives about 8 hours from Victoria. ;)
