[Nevergiveup]

Would they consider relocating? I currently live in London so not sure if it’s worth applying as the ad only says live within hours 45min car journey

Bit of a grey area. Unlike London TOCs contracts don't currently hold you to the business so they tend to be apprehensive with relocation. I do know of people that have be successful and relocated however

I had an email from them just this week regarding a different role in which they told me that they don’t accept relocation applications:/

Hi everyone
We all know that every company has a depot where they don't spent any money or where they sent all the scrap vehicles

Is Blackburn depot one of this places?

Can anyone who knows the depot or someone who works there let us know please

How are :
- vehicles
- people (management/supervisors)
- facilities in and around the depot
- routes (long-short /good-bad / countryside)

Any opinion is welcomed
Cheers

Blackburn is a great depot, all new and a nice set of people there too. Been lucky with DTMs too not a bad one in sight
