This year’s intake will bring the total number of apprentices hired by Go-Ahead since 2019 to 6,000.

Over the year ahead, Go-Ahead London plans to hire 500 apprentice bus drivers, most of which will be on the road driving within six weeks of recruitment. Drivers are trained at Go-Ahead London’s Camberwell academy.

Meanwhile, Govia Thameslink Railway, which operates Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern and Gatwick Express trains, is set to welcome 220 apprentice engineers and train drivers. Go North West aims to add 100 apprentice bus drivers. Additional apprentices will be recruited across various roles at Go-Ahead's regional bus companies and head office positions in London and Newcastle.
