Q1. Why do you want to become a Train Driver and what can you bring to the role?

SUGGESTED ANSWER:

“The job of a train driver is one I have been working towards for a long time now, and during my preparation, I have studied the role in detail to make sure I have the skills, qualities and attributes to perform the role safely, competently and professionally. I enjoy working in jobs where there is a requirement to work under pressure but to also take full responsibility and ownership for your actions. I fully understand the level of responsibility that comes with the train driver role and can assure you I will always operate within the required safety parameters set by your organization. In addition to the high levels of responsibility required in this safety-critical role, I enjoy providing great levels of service to people and would very much enjoy working towards achieving and delivering the Train Operating Companies customer service charter, timetable and standards. I am a hard-working, caring, conscientious and reliable team worker who has the ability to learn large amounts of job-specific information whilst also working to set standards and procedures. My life is such that I am extremely flexible and can work whatever shifts or rota are required of me. Finally, I fully understand that, as a train driver for your company, I will need to act as a positive role model at all times and feel certain you will be more than satisfied with my performance if I am successful at interview.”

SUGGESTED ANSWER

“Apart from living in the local area, I have researched your organization and I have been extremely impressed with the service you offer. I enjoy working in a customer-focused role and I can see from my research that you put your passengers first and want to provide a great level of service by ensuring the trains run on time and the comfort of your passengers is a priority. The pressure on Train Operating Companies to deliver improved services is ever-increasing, and I want to work for a company that strives to deliver great service. Whilst I really do want to become a train driver, and it has been my passion for many years, I understand that I am working for a train Operating Company that needs its staff to perform to high standards, and that has attracted me to your organization. Having also researched your service online, I was impressed with the ‘meet the managers’ service you offer, which just goes to show even more how passionate you are with regards to meeting the needs of your passengers.”
