East Midlands Railway has launched its latest recruitment drive for apprentice train drivers.
The regional rail operator – which recently achieved a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating for its apprenticeship scheme – said it was keen to encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply for the roles based at its Nottingham and Derby depots.
The appeal comes amid reports of further strike action expected within the industry after crisis talks between ministers and unions failed to resolve industrial disputes. Sustained action has crippled services, with only one in five trains running between Tuesday and Saturday.
