As a Trainee Driver it's about £24,000. Slightly above by a few hundred I think.
Thereabouts anyway. 2015/16 pay deal has not been done yet but pay anniversary is April so by the time you start it should've gone up a bit.
Once qualified it jumps to £47,133 currently.
Good luck!

Actually I'll correct myself as I've just seen an old advert, and applying the difference in the full drivers rate since then, gives a trainee rate of £23,932, which sounds about right.
If you're on the GN side you'll get one Sunday on overtime, or a Saturday rest day work, to do part of your training for the Moorgate tunnels, so this will tip you into £24,000.

While training its actually works out slightly more depending what depot your at as if for instance your depot is at Peterborough you get paid travel time to get to hornsey from Peterborough each day as overtime. And on top you get free lunch everyday all adds up.
that's what I put
