How do you get a job driving trains?!!

Looked on net but no help lol (too much porn!!)

 

www.railchat.co.uk - that is your best friend with your question

 

I started out as a guard mate, then pestered them like fook!

Be prepared for loads of sycometric(?) testing, and basic maths skills, engineering questions, communications and the ability to listen!

It's about 2 years start to finish of contstant assesments but once your there, they do tend to leave you alone abit with just the odd ride out and random download.

Good luck in your search!

Edit: have a look here http://www.railwayregister.care4free...ain_driver.htm half way down is a section on making your application, and a general idea of who's taking on

 

Also, Forgot to mention, try with your local Passenger Operating Company (TOC) as the Freight boys (FOC) want qualified drivers 99.9% of the time

 

Choo Choo im still waiting patiently for Northern Rail to get back in touch as promised in 2009.

 

Good luck, be more like 2010
