About train driving…. Firstly it’s competitive to get into. You also have to pass tests to get accepted for training. There’s a LOT to learn, a lot of study. If you don’t pass, you’re out. It is paid well, but there’s shift work. Very early starts and late finishes. You have to have a lot of concentration and quick reactions. It’s not for everyone and it’s not a job where you apply on a whim one day and start the next. It’s a long winded process to get to the training and earning stage - if you need money right now you’d apply elsewhere too. Lastly, they seem to like people who have had previous driving experience, particularly driving for a job.
