Well me and you are in the same boat and unfortunately for us the won't be doing any open competitive exams for the motorman position, you shouldn't limit yourself to those two positions take any exam you meet the requirements for so you have something to fall back on. I'm gonna try my luck with an internship with them or a "skilled trade position" that way I can get my "foot in the door". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted September 16, 2013 Share #6 Posted September 16, 2013 Didn't know you can drive a train. Visit England, where they "drive" them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan05979 Posted September 17, 2013 Share #7 Posted September 17, 2013 Visit England, where they "drive" them all the time. I'm not going anywhere. I wish people can get thru there heads there's no steering wheel at the train ops positions. There are controls like an machine. You OPERATE a subway train or train.

Xentor Posted September 19, 2013 Share #9 Posted September 19, 2013 I think people know dam well one can't actually DRIVE a train. They just cant figure out a better word. Plus no one gives a shit how they sound or come off these days. Personally I'd go with words like "maneuver " or "control" possibly even "commandeer".

Truckie Posted September 19, 2013 Share #10 Posted September 19, 2013 I think people know dam well one can't actually DRIVE a train. I don't. I think the general population never thought about it and are uneducated as to what really happens. An example is one of the most common stupid questions I get at Grand Central Terminal when loading the train. "Which was is the train going to go"? Meanwhile they just walked past the bumping block against the wall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
