Out with Southeastern

Caroline spent an afternoon out with Charles Horton from Southeastern train operating company, and Graham, a train driver trainer, to discuss issues to do with Southeastern trains and to experience life in the driver’s cab.

“It was very interesting to see first hand some of the challenges drivers face negotiating in and out of stations such as London Bridge and Victoria. Drivers receive detailed training over many months and are always alert to potential hazards on the tracks”.

“I also discussed with Mr Horton issues from ticketing at stations to improved relations with passengers and of course the Olympic timetable” commented Caroline.
