virgin aint taking drivers on at the moment - apply to your local company, FGW or central i think your area is - get an application in and then go from there - even if they want you to start off as a conductor, its piss easy work and at 18k a year + comission - for that its money for old rope

Graceland has a VERY good paint, train drivers--

Even Wessex Trains (ie the local trains that go Birmingham/Gloucestershire/Cardiff/Bristol/Somerset/Dorest/Devon etc etc) pay 30k a year after training...

i wouldn't worry about fucking the interview m8 - its if you fuck the tests up that you worry - you can only take them twice in a lifetime by law.


and the RMT union aint a fan of "ONE" trains at the moment - they are tryingto break health and safety and railway regulations by operating more driver only trains and making guards redundant

JAP CRAP, think of something you like doing then see how to make money from it!

Look at other peoples jobs/businesses that you think interesting and find a way to do it better than them

Heres a quick few off the top of my head:

Page 3/Glamour photographer
Car tuner/paint sprayer
Journalist? (car mag, lads mags etc)
Graphic Designer (You did a good picture in paint the other day )
Mobile valeting?

Hell, we even get charged 12 quid a go for someone to come and clean the wheelie bin!!
