Role overview

The Train Driver is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of trains carrying our customers across the Transport for Wales (TfW) network. The current minimum age for train driver licensing is 20, though this will soon be lowered to 18. If you've completed secondary education and are keen to start a railway career, we'd love to hear from you. You can apply to join our Talent Pool now, and we'll progress your application once you meet the required age for driver training.'. Transport for Wales encourages individuals from under-represented group to join so we can achieve a workforce representative of our communities. No previous experience is needed for the role, as our Trainee Driver Academy Programme will prepare you fully for life on the Network. The important part is that you are passionate, professional, and motivated to learn, with an understanding of the importance of safety, performance, and customer service.
