There is apparently a train-driver shortage. I would like to apply but see no opportunities. Can you help?

    Hi John,

    All of our current opportunities can be found on our careers site and Train Driver specific vacancies here. As you've alluded to, we aren't currently advertising for Trainee Train Drivers right now, however when we do they will appear on that page.

Have a question of your own?

I saw that Lumo's new headquarters has just opened in Preston. I'd love to know if the marketing department will be based there and if there are plans to recruit or if positions have already been filled?
