Public transport is something many of us have come to rely on and catching a train to work, school or to meet friends may be part of your daily routine. But what is it like to drive a train? And how long does it take to learn?

Derby Telegraph reporter Shannyn Quinn visited the East Midlands Trains Customer Service Academy in Hudson Way on Pride Park to test the company’s train simulator and
find out what it takes to bag yourself a job.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, you’re faced with an array of buttons, levers and controls that all do different things to operate the train.


This is an article from Derby Telegraph, showing Train Driver's training. Managing a HST train running at 125 mph with hundreds of passengers is a huge responsibility. Thank you for keeping the country working.
