Greater Anglia recruits for trainee driver roles

Greater Anglia is advertising 15 full-time trainee driver roles across its network, as it looks for its latest crop of new recruits.

Positions are available for both depot drivers, who are responsible for driving empty trains around depots and sidings and into station platforms at low speed, and mainline drivers who will be operating trains in passenger service on a number of routes.

The jobs are all safety-critical roles and require a person who can work well on their own, effectively communicate with both colleagues and customers, be well organised and have high levels of concentration. They are suitable for anyone with the right attributes

To apply, please visit the Greater Anglia careers page

I do like Greater Anglia and the Class 745, Class 755 Stadler FLIRTS and the Class 720 Bombardier/Alstom Aventras.

Thank you for sharing this Greater Anglia. How do I as a young individual and other young people work towards becoming a train driver one day?

The advertisement for Trainee Mainline Driver got taken down early, so I missed the opportunity this time. I applied for the depot driver position and submitted the SJT. I'm not sure if I want to pursue a depot driver role because I'm passionate about mainline driving. Are any depot drivers from Norwich able to share some information? Like if you enjoy it and the eventual opportunity of becoming Mainline?

The greater Anglia class 360 and the 321 are way better
