I am learning now to become train driver. This month i have my first 3 week practice. I will be ready train driver here in Sweden 2022. Best job you can have.

Many people dream of becoming airplane pilots, but not so many dream of driving trains

that noise going off every 90 seconds would drive me nuts

For me it's not a 'Dream' job but it is a very good one! Has many downsides especially to social life and long term health due to shift work. Been a Driver for 16yrs

Who ever decided to cut it off so suddenly huff's paint thinner.

I wanted to become a train driver but in the 70's the future for rail looked bleak so I became a teacher. One of the little lads I taught grew up, I bumped into him in town and asked what his job was. You've guessed it. I was sick with jealousy for several days. A year or two later I heard he'd stopped train driving as it was too stressful. I am now a professional driver (OO gauge model trains at a tourist attraction, click the logo for fun clips, especially the disco)

It's a great job! Only downside is the public.

I'm currently training to become a mainline train driver. Would anyone be interested if I made a channel and dedicated it to the training process, what to expect on the course and other bits and pieces I pick up that you might not know?

He was driving 91132, the locomotive involved in two fatal crashes and the first of the Class 91's to be scrapped.

As a rail fan any job on the railways would be a dream job to me unfortunately after many attempts applying I hit the buffers every time

I grew up as a train-loving kid in Japan and currently working in the railway industry but not as a driver. Hope to become one in the future, though uncertain if I'll pass the strict tests and training.

In 3-4 years, Im ready to be a regional train driver, here in my country Denmark.

My uncle was a train driver who would subscribe to all the magazines, build models in his free time and frequent railway museums- sometimes multiple times a month just to chat to likeminded people

A dream job working 36 Sundays a year and nights shunting around Bounds Green every three weeks, and god help you if you are seen walking up the platform with a cup of tea in your hand.

I’m love with trains at the minute 😍

I bet the driver is just loved at his depot

When I Was kid I would have dreamt of driving one the problems is so much intense training now which including health and safety safeguarding security risk assessments etc it is not just the signals to worry about it is also looking out for unexpected dangers the line such as fallen trees larger bits of debris and other rubbish even people or animals on the line and even dangers on the platform such unattended luggage people too close to the platform edge for comfort and so many other factors

I love the massive sign on the panel "Do not cover up this sign" :D Obviously it is for the TPWS buttons but I felt like the sign could have been put somewhere else.

Operate trains for nyc subways was a dream come true only to become a nightmare last 13 years of transit career 1986-2018

Good luck to him, wish him all the best ,nice route and scenery
