I'm a train driver.

It's hard to get the job. You have psychometric tests which you can only attempt twice and a lot of hoops to jump through. Then when you get the job you have a year course on the 'rules' which is basically the railway rulebook and how to operate in emergencies and a whole load of shit, if you fail the weekly tests you're out. There's also a traction course which is about the train, how it operates, how to fix problems and find faults. There's quite a lot to it, especially if you drive different trains.

After all this you then have to go with an instructor and gain 250hr driving experience in night and day and then when you've done that you have a week long driving test which tests everything you've learned to dateand you only get 2 chances or you're out.

Continuation...

The job is sweet. Its a 4 day week, I get 5 day weekend every third week and the money is good. I work overtime and made just under £100k last year.

Driving a train is easy but too stay focused for so long is the hard part and the job is unforgiving when you make an error. The second you make a mistake it's already too late to fix it. It's possible to release doors the wrong side or stop short of your stopping mark and release which sounds stupid but easily done and from there people can fall on the tracks and get smashed which then puts you away on a manslaughter charge.

95% of the time you're just cruising along watching the sun come up but in an instant it can become extremely pressurised and challenging.

In the US there's lots of nepotism from what I've heard. Still a reasonable career to work railway, but you have to advance your way up...though I assume like most boomer non-flashy jobs they're hurting for fresh blood.

In America train interstate train drivers make about 60k a year. I don't think they have to go through the same process but they work their asses off. Depending on the city, being a train operator is great. In my city they make 80k a year with a great union. The system is entirely automated as well so all they have to do is open and close the doors to make sure passengers have settled.

The hardest part of getting that job is having good connections.

That would be the easiest job in the world. Theyd have to completely overhaul the rail network here as its still victorian infrastructure. Only fully auto part I'm aware of is the docklands light railway and that was purpose built and their operators get £45kish. Still not bad for opening and closing doors.

maybe not 5 years, but he's right. The machine can learn. Something a lowly train driver could not comprehend until it's about to take his job.

Reminder that the only reason the airline industry hasn't been completely taken over by AI/computers is not because it can't be done, but because of insurance/perception issues. As soon as one airline starts using robot pilots, the others say 'look! That airline uses robots! We have actual humans to keep you safe!', ignoring the fact that most air crashes are pilot error anyway and it really is time for pilots to be removed.

as the legal system gets more adept at tracing the source of error (hint: blockchain), the idea of having a human present in order to pin blame would no longer be necessary. The error would be traceable to a software developer, manufacturer etc.

>> No.16430631

There will always be a person needed incase of emergency. A person can perceive something which a machine can't. There are handsignals on the railway which the driver responds to by stopping the train. These handsignals look like that of kids or people waving from overbridges. The human can tell that they aren't danger signals, a machine will continuously be stopping. Or what if you see someone acting strange on a platform?...a driver can perceive this and act preemptively, a machine cannot. A driver can predict the conditional of rail adhesion based on location or slight rainfall or some other extenuating circumstance, a machine cannot.

What when the passengers need evacuating along a train track with live rails, will the train be able to coordinate this? No.

A driver has intelligence that the machine doesn't and even when we get to the point where the train and track could be implemented with technology that would work, it would cost way too much to install and the track would need to be completely redone to install sensors so that the train/track will know if there's an obstruction.

Nobody is going to pay for it to be done. The ticket prices would need to be raised massively.

It's cheaper to have a squidgy bit up the front.
