Hi all,
After a career in logistics management, I’m going to look at making a change. Something I’ve always really fancied is train driving - basically a dream job.
I live in the South West so I’ll be targeting GWR and SWR. I know it’s the kind of role I’ll have to play the long game in seeking with the various trainee and talent pool models the TOCs use, which is fine.
I’d like to get myself into a trainee role in the next 5 years, which, with all the infrastructure investment, I hope is realistic. My question is, at 32 am I too old to make the switch? What kind of age range do TOCs tend to go for in their trainee roles in order to make training someone a worthwhile investment - and when is potentially too late age wise?
Please be as honest as possible, TIA!
