About FirstGroup

We are the leading transport operator in the UK and North America and each day, every one of our 100,000 employees works hard to deliver vitally important services for our passengers. During the last year around two billion passengers relied on us to get to work, to school or college, to visit family and friends, and much more. We operate five divisions which draw on common skills and expertise, but which are varied by geography, customer base and a mix of contract backed and passenger revenue. Our broad footprint in the UK and North America gives us profound experience of two of the most developed markets in the world for transport services, and this breadth of expertise across different regulatory and contractual structures. This means we can be confident that, whatever the specific transport challenge is, somewhere across our business we have already identified and implemented a solution which will work.

This involves practical training, learning in the classroom and our simulators. If you’re willing to learn, have high levels of concentration and can keep calm under pressure, you’ll enjoy driving a diverse range of trains across our network. And you’ll soon discover that driving a train is more than a job - it’s a way of life.
