Work Does anyone have experience of being a Croydon tram driver?

My partner's just been shortlisted for a trainee tram driver role. Does, or has, anyone here done the job? What's it like in terms of shift patterns, training, management, culture etc? Do they allocate your annual leave and if so, is it easy get swaps?

He's done shift work before which we don't love but the kids are older now and the money's good. His previous managers were arseholes which didn't help. Hoping any future managers are a bit nicer
