In light of the Government’s latest plan allowing 18 year olds to train as train drivers how do I apply to start now?

Paul S.

Driver Manager, Avanti West Coast

Good morning Mili. Hope you're well.

We don't have any Trainee Train Driver vacancies at present and do not accept speculative applications, however if you visit the Avanti West Coast Careers Site and register your interest, we will notify you when we commence any new recruitment campaigns.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks,

Paul
