Hi, I’m really interested in becoming a train driver. Is the training provided in the job or else prior to application

Hello Leam,

We recruit for both qualified and trainee train drivers. For trainee roles, all necessary training will be provided to those who successfully make it through the application process and are offered employment.

There are some minimum requirements for this role:
* You must be at least 21 years of age to be accepted on to the training course, as this is an industry requirement.
* You'll need to live within 60 minutes travel time to the depot, without using public transport when it is not available. The safety responsibilities make this requirement a necessity.
* You will be needed to work shifts of varying start times, including weekends and nights.
* You'll need to pass a full driver medical which includes hearing, sight, and colour vision tests (using the Ishihara plates).

We aren't currently advertising for any Trainee Train Driver roles, however when we do they will be found here. There is also an area at the bottom of that page where you can register for job alerts.

I hope that helps.
