Good morning,

This very much depends on business requirements but typically you could expect GWR to advertise a trainee train driver campaign two or three times a year.

These would normally be based on location, most commonly in the South East (London, Reading and Oxford areas) and the South West (Bristol, Wales and Cornwall areas).

We're not able to provide any dates for when these might occur however, so your best bet would be to register for job alerts on our careers site. That way, as soon as a vacancy is advertised that matches your set criteria, you will receive an email notification.

Alternatively, any train driver vacancy will always be displayed here so you could also just keep an eye out on this page.
