Good health, good eyesight, an ability to respond to a number of different tasks at the same time / priortise them. There are tests which companies use to find the most suitable people to be train drivers. Check out Youtube videos for the tests.

It's rather like a Highlander type affair. You have to kill a driver to become a driver.
