Drivers bag

[K_Ann]

Hello there,

I am reaching out to see if this is anything you could assist our family with? We have a much loved family member Shaun, a young man who has complex special needs. One of his very favourite past times is to travel on trains! On our last visit he was very emotional as he more than anything right now would love to own his very own drivers rucksack, we believe it is the Hi vis one like I have attached. As we understand they are only issued to the drivers but I am desperately trying to source one for him with no luck.

Would it be something you could help with or maybe assist me with in who I could maybe contact?

Does he want just a generic orange hi viz drivers bag like the one in your photo? Or is he after one that has the train company logo printed?

I can not find the exact one in your photo but there are similar ones. Even on the railway you will get train drivers with multiple different designs of orange hi viz bags.

A bag that is fairly similar to your photo can be bought by anyone on this site here:

https://shop.hops.org.uk/shop/bags/hi-vis-rail-spec-orange-r

This is not the same model as your photo but it is a similar one. It costs £61.20 and is a bag designed for and used by railway staff including drivers.

If you just want a cheaper generic orange hi viz bag then you could get this one:

HI VIS VIZ BACKPACK REFLECTIVE CYCLING HIGH VISIBILITY SCHOOL BAG WORK RUCKSACK | eBay UK

Be seen, stay organized, conquer anything. 3 x Reflective Tape & 2 x Side Pockets with Zip. Normally we respond in 24 to 48 hours. All Pictures and Colours May Vary Slightly Due to Lighting Effects In Studio.

This one costs £9.99 so this is certainly a lot cheaper to purchase. It is more a generic orange hi viz bag rather a railway specific one.

If you want an orange hi viz bag with the train company logo then the only way is probably occasional second hand ones on ebay. I can not see any at the moment but they turn up on ebay every few weeks.

Thank you so much for your reply. We have been keeping an eye on Ebay over the past few weeks but no luck as yet. Thank you for the link though. I will pass it on. In the meantime if there is anybody on here who has one or knows of someone else who would be willing to sell it to us please let me know.

Officially it would be this bag. Not sure where you can buy the exact one from. I would also like one for the same reason, tbh.
