    Scotrail Trainee Drivers (Ongoing)

    You need to be on a course before they expire, if you're put into a pool and it's longer then they will expire and you'll have to redo them unfortunately

    Lumo - Apprentice Customer Train Driver - Euston/Preston/Stirling (17/03/25)

    It won't count for mainline trains I dont think, you'll have to go through the process from the start.

    Is this normal?

    At TL if you work your sunday its 7 days on before 2 off then another 7 before 5 off and repeat. At 1 TOC I know it's 10 on if you work your sunday.

    GWR Qualified Driver Paddington

    Can you get there within an hour then? Thats a fair old trek. Im not sure of the ins and outs of terms etc but I know a few who've worked there, seemed quite happy.

    GTR Depot Choice

    Yeah that's is one downside at TL. You can't swap shifts at all .

    If you're booking on at cricklewood after the trains have gone out then you get a fair bit of walking time to the station which can take a bit off the duty at the start and finish. Huge messroom at cricklewood as well lol

    Depot choices

    Probably would out of all of them but it's still mainly stopper work I believe but certainly a better mix then cricklewood. Im sure GN have a different rest day set up to TL but I'm not sure exactly.

    Depot choices

    Definitely no depot at blackfriars, it's only been closed about 9 years lol. Tbh they are all intensive stopper work, st albans and cricklewood will be mostly double sutton loops but I'd look at whats closest. Think they all have nights.
