Can anyone tell me if you have to be at least 5"4 tall, in all rail companies?

Usually if you want to be a driver however some people under this height had managed to get jobs. It's all down to ergonomics of the cab environment.

Only because you limbo'd under the railing!

Thanks Louby, I'm 5,3 so that gives me confidence!

Don't forget about being able to reach the pedals

Don't forget about being able to reach the pedals

As long as your arms are long enough to reach the gearstick you should be ok

5'2 the minimum at TPE based on a lady 5'1 who was knocked back some years ago purely on height.

Well they say an inch makes all the difference . .......

I thought I was 5'4, but at my medical was told I'm just under. Got the job still though, so it can't be the minimum height currently. Just means you have to allow extra time for seat adjustments everytime you get in a cab haha
