TrainFanatic Posted February 21, 2010 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2010 Believe it or not! London's youngest tube train driver is only 18 years old! To bad you have to be at least 21 to qualify for a NYC train operator. Here's a video of the teen train operator: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Glen Posted February 21, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 21, 2010 Excellent video. He's a class act. That could never happen in the USA. I can only imagine one of the young foamers at Subchat operating a R160A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zman Posted February 22, 2010 Share #14 Posted February 22, 2010 Good for him! Starting at 18, talk about a life sentence! One of the things the two of us have in common: I was driving a train before I got my driver's license too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving a car and a train are two different animals. Driving a car is quite a bit harder to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted February 22, 2010 Share #19 Posted February 22, 2010 Wow, amazing 18-year-old T/O. Slightly off-topic, I still cannot get Japanese train simulator game, and I can't stop that train exactly in center, so I would fail a test.

KTrainExp Posted February 28, 2010 Share #20 Posted February 28, 2010 I think it's great. He certainly doesn't look like the foamer type, saying that the max he will go is 45 miles per hour (which is somewhat average in London). Now if some specific people get ahold of an R142A then...

Cross Harbor RR Posted March 7, 2010 Share #23 Posted March 7, 2010 Im proud of him, has that job at 18!!! Wish I worked operatin' trains and getting paid for it. But I started operating since 14 :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, those simulator games and the real thing, are two different things. After you walk around these real trains, you will respect them, and take the job seriously. What are you waiting for anyways, are you on the list (even though it seems there has been a hiring slowdown, not freeze yet)............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After operating up at BERA, it's no comparison to the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
