Go for it mate, I've wanted to be a driver for as long as I can remember, I've just spent the last 12 years as a chef in the Raf, but in feb next year I start with FGW as a trainee driver. It's an Awful lot of hard work, to get this far. But if you don't try you'll never know!!

Has anybody received the train driver starter pack yet ?

Oh right cool. What happens next then ? I think I'm about to burst with excitement. Although we have lots of hard work ahead
