Career change, Train driving?

All these comments about AI to drive trains ??? clearly from people who have never worked or have any idea about the industry.

I did start with "Absolutey no idea"!

Still, it does seem like a job that would benefit from technological assistance...

It seems like a collosal waste of time and money* to advertise train driver trainee jobs externally, if they’re only going to recruit conducters/signalpeople etc

It wouldn’t cost them much to whack the job listing on the website, surely?

No, but reviewing and rejecting 11,800 out of 12,000 applications would be a few man hours - and we know the industry isn't predisposed to using AI 😉 .
