Alex S. Application Support – Hr And Recruitment

Hi Jermaine,

Apologies for the delayed response. That experience you hold as a Bus Driver could certainly be of help if you were to become a train driver, although operating a train is very different to that of a bus.

There are no qualifications required so it would simply be a case of applying for a Trainee Train Driver position and, should you be successful through each of the recruitment stages, you would then be made an offer of employment and placed on a training course.

The only minimum requirements for the role are:

• 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).

All of our current Train Driver vacancies can be found here and at the the bottom of that page is also the option to register for job alerts.
