UK Train Driver Opportunities

You can find work with passenger train operators, freight companies, and underground, light rail and metro companies.

Recent reports suggest that there has been a huge increase over the last decade in passengers and freight on both commuter and long-distance routes. As a result, the demand for drivers is forecast to grow, with more opportunities on the busy networks in and around London and the south-east.

With experience, you could gain promotion to driver instructor and then driver safety manager jobs. Beyond this level, you could move into operations management. You may be able to move up from driving light rail and local routes to long distance trains by changing employers.
