Good morning, I have noticed that there are vacancies for Trainee Tram Driver in Croydon. This job would be a great fit, but I don't have a manual licence. I have an automatic licence. Therefore, I can't apply. Can anyone shed some light on why a manual licence is required for this job?

I am wanting to become a train driver with First/Hull trains/Lumo, I am based in Sheffield, and am keeping an eye out on the hopeful line from Sheffield to London. I have sought after advice from current and past drivers and officials. I wanted to know what else I can do to fulfil my dream career.

I've recently relocated back to the UK from Canada, where I moved 12 years ago for university. I've worked A LOT of jobs since then, with some periods of unemployment (especially most recently - since moving). I really want to kick my career up a notch now I'm back! What advice do you have?

Hi GWR Team, I have registered to receive alerts for trainee driver roles in my area. My left arm is paralysed and I would like to understand whether my application could be considered and whether I would need to incorporate any adaptations? Do you have any existing drivers who may be impaired in this way? Look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Dan

I am a father of a young family and I'm very interested in becoming a train driver. I have no experience within the industry but I'm determined to get in. I have sort assistance from various online sources with trying to train myself for a driver position but the only ways to get in are to apply direct or through an apprenticeship. Most companies are only offering vacancies for fully trained individuals leaving slim opportunities for new comers. Do you have any insights as to how i can stand out? am i better off getting a job at the companies of interest and applying internally? Thanks in advance for your time, I hope to hear from you. if you have any questions feel free to contact me on 07944738671. Kindest regards James Green
