Additional information

Left previous job because, unlike my male contemporaries, I was given limited route knowledge and kept on 11-12hr shifts starting 1-3:30am, which significantly affected my health. I am willing to start in a demoted’ position, but as a qualified driver I cannot apply for trainee positions advertised

Hi Lucy,

My advice would be to register for job alerts on our careers site to ensure you are notified as soon as any new adverts go live.

Alternatively, all of our train driver opportunities are listed here and so you could also just regularly check this page.

Good Luck!
