Well done and good luck. The railway is still a fantastic career despite all the moaning you will hear about "how good it used to be" Usually off the ex BR lot! I'm on the other side of the coin, been signalling 17 tears.
Enjoy!
Thank you sir.... im eager to start my training as ive been stuck in the same routine for 14 years in my previous jobEnjoy!
Well done.
Can be a good and rewarding career. Know someone who works on the Tube and he rakes it in.
But make sure you have a second back-up career in mind, to cover the next 10 to 15 years and beyond. Overground and underground train drivers will soon be replaced by automated trains, AI, and robots. Unions will fight automation for you, but they won't be able to stop it. And don't pretend "it won't happen", because that is what horse-and-carriage drivers said in the early 20th century about the car...

Wouldn't bother. It's going to be a few decades until the tube will be driverless. Many, many, many more decades until the mainline gets anywhere near full driverless operation, if ever. The op will be long in the grave before this happens in any meaningful way.Can be a good and rewarding career. Know someone who works on the Tube and he rakes it in.
