Weekend Jobs on the Railways (SE area)

[atomicdanny]

Hi, I'm just wondering if Railway companies have weekend part time positions, I always look at Southeastern but only ever seen "management" or engineering positions and vary rarely conductors or driver positions. I was wondering if any of either Southeastern, Southern, London Overground or in fact any around London show their part time positions online? Or is it a case of keep looking?

I'm only looking for weekend roles mainly because i have a mon - fri role, and only need it to essentially save for a rainy day! (if that makes sense)

I suspect the only thing part time you will find is Casual work for Customer Service type roles for large events or engineering work

I'm beginning to think the same thing although Southeastern in particular don't seem to advertise any of the platform staff positions online I've noticed but then again i don't look every day!

Virgin Trains do, occasionally. There are definitely weekend only and casual roles with on board workl

London Midland are always short on Sundays for drivers.

Very rarely do I see long term part time jobs advertised - it is either a full time position or they get someone in to do it on overtime.

Thanks , although I had honestly forgotten about Virgin Trains! although none at the moment but then again I've applied to them before and got the usual "check your spelling, grammar etc - which wasn't really much help!), although I do have a link for all the train companies somewhere (but obviously ignore Northern, ATW, Merseyrail etc! for obvious reasons!)

Something tells me that a Part Time Train driver role doesn't exist (especially for one day!)

At least one company I know well employs people to drive trains for 14 hours per week.
