Hopefully this is the start of positions becoming available. Especially in the east of the country, where I'm based.

You'd think they'd have enough candidates as approx 20,000 applied for a 100 jobs a couple of years ago..

I remember... Very frustrating it was to see adverts for those posts on TV, newspapers, internet, everywhere... Increased the amount of applications 100 fold!
Fingers crossed though, with the new trains coming, it might be the start of recruitment...

Rumour has it, Edinburgh is over complimented with drivers, so might be a while yet.

Hi I've recently applied for this role with the hope there aren't too many qualified train drivers in Stranraer in out of work. Anyone in the know if this is more likely to go to someone internally?
Can think of a few Stranraer based conductors who'd be interested.
First time applicant Abellio/Scotrail but somewhere in keen to get in not matter what the role.

Anyone knows if they will consider people willing to relocate? I am happy to do it if selected.
