You've just failed the first test, by not reading the wealth of info that's already been posted on here. ;):oops:

Read this site - http://www.railwayregister.care4free.net/becoming_a_train_driver.htm


Get some basic careers advice, eg how to fill out an application form correctly. Watch your punctuation, spelling, etc.

Beware of people trying to make money out of all the wannabe train drivers out there, by selling you DVD's etc. The selection process is aptitude based - will watching a DVD give you aptitude? You've either got it, or you haven't.

Best of luck, but in my experience, driving is often a second career.
