Hi, my name is Lorraine, and I am a professional bus driver at Go-Ahead Ireland, working out of their Ballymount depot in Dublin.<\/p>\n
I have been working with Go-Ahead Ireland for just under five years, since joining the company in June of 2019.<\/p>\n
\n
How did you find out about the company?<\/b><\/p>\n
I found out about Go-Ahead Ireland through a friend, I applied online, and the process was fairly easy. I started working with them just two weeks after my application was sent through. I was in the classroom, and three weeks after I was in the classroom I passed my test, with zero faults.<\/p>\n
What made you want to work for Go-Ahead Ireland in the first place?<\/b><\/p>\n
I worked in the transport industry previously, with about 7 years of experience, mostly driving smaller vehicles like minibuses. I then joined a cash handling business, but when Go-Ahead Ireland came around, I liked the idea of getting back into public transport, so I applied.<\/p>\n
Briefly describe what your average workday looks like.<\/b><\/p>\n
I work a Monday to Friday split shift, I enjoy working on this roster, it really suits my work life balance, with no late finishes or weekend work.<\/p>\n
I come in to work in the morning and sign on with the supervisors, who allocate out the bus I am going to be using. After being allocated my bus, I have time to do my First Use Checks, after that I follow my duty card for the duration of my shift.<\/p>\n
Throughout that day, you have all sorts of different interactions with people, and like most jobs there are good and bad moments, but they are definitely mostly good.<\/p>\n
What is the most rewarding, or stand out moment, about your time working with Go-Ahead Ireland?<\/b><\/p>\n
I suppose when I think of it, there are a lot of rewarding things, I know that the whole overall point is to get people from A to B safely as that\u2019s what it’s all about. For me mostly I love getting time with my colleagues and having the craic \u2013 that\u2019s just what I like as a people person.<\/p>\n
A standout moment for me is when I had my first and only issue when out in the bus. A passenger approached me when I was in the cab, and he was telling me that there was a passenger giving a woman a bit of a hard time. Initially I couldn\u2019t see or hear anything, but as it escalated, I could then see what was going on. I called our Control Team, who contacted the Garda\u00ed. The man then got off the bus and was met by the Garda\u00ed. I closed the doors and drove away. A few stops later, the woman who was involved got off, and she was thankful.<\/p>\n
I met that woman later, and she couldn\u2019t have thanked me enough for helping her through it and keeping her reassured that everything would be okay. She never forgot me, and I never forgot her, and we would always stop to say hello whenever we bump into each other.<\/p>\n
Now that I think of it, my proudest working for Go-Ahead Ireland was taking part in the Dublin Pride Parade last year, in 2023. We had two buses taking part, and I was driving the \u201cquiet bus\u201d, which allowed for people to take part in the parade in a controlled environment. I really liked that day, there was a great buzz.<\/p>\n
Have you been able to get on-the-job training?<\/b><\/p>\n
I have always been provided with CPC training, so that they are always up to date, and route training \u2013 so that I can do any new routes that might come up, which is important when the likes of BusConnects come around. I have also availed of refresher training, it\u2019s no problem for me to come in on a Saturday if I like and refresh myself on routes that I have not done in a while. It\u2019s simple enough to get these opportunities, it\u2019s just a conversation between myself and the Operations Team who then look after the arrangements.<\/p>\n
How do you see your future at Go-Ahead Ireland?<\/b><\/p>\n
In the long run, I would like to see the introduction of part time work. But that is not something I have to worry about right now or for years to come. Between now and then, I would be interested in progressing my career at Go-Ahead Ireland.<\/p>\n
What advice would you give to someone thinking of applying for a job with Go-Ahead Ireland?<\/b><\/p>\n
If you like driving and consider yourself a people person, do it. I think people who struggle to wait in traffic would struggle with the job.<\/p>\n
BONUS – If you won the lotto, what would you do?<\/b><\/p>\n
I would probably set up a mini-bus company to tell you the truth, and I would aim to run school contracts. If you can manage a few buses, there is really good benefits to it. My husband worked in transport, maybe he could be my first employee!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
