    Hi there,

    We have no maximum age limit for apprenticeship train driver applications. The only minimum requirements are as follows:

    • You must be at least 20 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).
