Hi All
Apologies if this is already on another thread - if so please point me in the right direction.
I am currently applying for train driver jobs (applying for things as they come up). I’m 25 years old so a lot of years ahead of me should I get a driving role.
One area that concerns me about becoming a driver is the future prospects of drivers and more specifically the impact of driverless trains. Is it still realistic to hope to have a 35/40 year career as a driver, or am I signing up to something that is going to be redundant in a few years time?
I realise nobody can predict the future, but any guidance around what’s happening in the industry and what people’s informed predictions might be would be really good to understand, before committing to a career as a driver.
It’s something I have personally dreamt of doing since I was small, fingers crossed there’s still a future in this, but all honesty appreciate!
Thanks in advance for any help and replies
