    Good Evening Danielle. Thank you for your message and for visiting the First Group Careers Page. This is the best job in my opinion; I still get a buzz from driving trains. At 125mph with a coffee watching the sunrise...Best office view ever!! What do you currently do workwise currently? When I joined the railway I was blown away by the family feel and the way all departments work together to get the wheels on a train moving. You will be responsible for leisure and commuter customers safety as you move them from point A - B for holidays, work and to see loved ones. I would say if this is something you're considering; apply!! You will not regret it. I'm driving for the next 2 days and I will still get that thrill travelling on the West Coast Mainline knowing I'm playing my part in moving customers around safely. If you have any specific questions, please do send them my way. Happy to help Danielle :)
