    Hi Neil,


    We do indeed take on trainees. As such, it would just be a case of you applying for a trainee role when you see one advertised. We don't have any at present, however when we do they will always be advertised on the job search page of our careers site.


    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).
