RECRUITMENT
ScotRail recruits drivers for Borders Railway
Thousands have applied for 18 trainee posts on the Borders Railway since ScotRail advertised positions for train drivers last year.
The selection process is currently underway and trainees will start in the late spring. The Borders project is due to be completed by 2015 and will also create over 400 jobs in the construction stage.
Drivers will be offered a starting salary of £22,281,
rising to
£39,204 after training and once the probationary period is complete.
Midlothian councillor Jim Bryant,
cabinet member for
economic development, said: “Delivering good transport links to Edinburgh and beyond is essential for the local area to
continue expanding its housing and economic developments, and its completion will also bring jobs and greater opportunities for local businesses.”
The £300m Borders Railway project will see the construction of seven new stations, as well as reinstatement of 35 miles of track between Midlothian and Edinburgh.
