Nice idea Mr K.Get your application form in then. Get yourself some experience on a heritage line whilst you train up and you too can drive a train and help out the country.
Are you a man of action or just all talk?
Unfortunately I would fall at the first hurdle on age grounds but I rather like the idea so much, I would have happily volunteered my services for free during the training period.
Like I have said before I have watched enough tram drivers on the Blackpool Fleetwood run and seen enough drivers cabs at Crewe Station to come to the conclusion… it’s not rocket science.
