train driver jobs??

[adampike123]

is there any train driver jobs going in the west/ north yorkshire area, for someone who isnt qualfied to drive them, but want to?

what do you think?
why would they hire someone who has no idea how to do a job...when there are hundreds of qualified people about wanting work...??

i think most people would prefer to get on a train with someone who knew what they were doing at the helm.

best bet is to get those qualifications first

Most train companies have a waiting list for training as a driver. (It was around two years with the lot I used to work for). They'll always give precedence to trained drivers transferring from other companies because of the cost of training a new driver (which typically takes around 18 months). Additionally, preference may also be given to existing conductors (because they'll have already completed some elements of the training).

Check out the careers pages of the relevant train companies for your area. Even if there's nothing currently advertised, it might be worth contacting the companies to get on their waiting lists:
