Paul P. asked a question to Paul S.
Morning Paul,
Thank you for getting in touch. If this is in relation to one of our Trainee Train Driver adverts then please don't let age deter you. Whilst we currently have a minimum age requirement of 21 years, there is no maximum age. Providing you meet the criteria during the application process, pass driver testing, and medical, I would urge you to apply when you see a vacancy advertised.
I have carried out interviews on candidates of all ages, with a success rate spread right across. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch at any time, either back on this platform or directly to driver.recruitment@avantiwestcoast.co.uk.
You can also find out more about what it's like to be a Train Driver here.
If your query isn't about train driving, then please visit our FAQs page where you will be able to find all the contact email addresses for each of our individual companies beneath the 'Contact us' section.
Kind Regards,
Paul Scott
Driver Manager, Avanti West Coast
