Hi folks,
I am currently in a very secure well paid job but I really want to take the leap and take a different career path as a train driver.
Will be looking to apply for GTR when they next advertise for trainee train driver's but if I am fortunate enough to get the job it is something I would want to stay in for the remainder of my working life say the next 30 years.
My question is what are peoples thoughts on driverless trains? I am guessing at some stage they will be introduced and there will no longer be a need for a driver? When do people think this will happen? I am seeing more about this being introduced all the time especially on the underground.
What are the thoughts from people who already are train drivers? Is there a lot of talk about this within the job?
Thank you for your responses in advance
Steve
