TransPennine Express (TPE) is hosting an online event next Wednesday evening at which people considering a career as a train driver can find out more about the job.
The #TalkTPE virtual event takes place on Wednesday 2 August at 7pm, and will be hosted by TPE's Recruitment Manager and one of the operator's lead driver managers for the North.
The hosts will provide an overview of what a train driver's job involves, and will explain the application process and training arrangements. They will also give information about the pay and benefits of the job. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions.
People interested in the event can register their interest here.
Nicola Buckley, Human Resources Director for TPE, said: “Here at TransPennine Express we're changing. Changing to deliver a railway fit for the future. And changing to ensure our people represent the communities we serve.
“We'd like to invite anyone interested in learning about what the driver role entails to join us at the virtual event.
“Whatever your background, whatever your experience, we want you to join us in shaping the future of rail.”
