I know I'm replying to an old comment, but I agree. A lot of people who have never driven a train think the job is "easy", presumably because you only control "forward and reverse". Controlling a huge heavy vehicle full of people requires your full attention and a lot of forward planning. Sure, the job can be done (and I daresay better) by a computer, but automating ancient railways aint cheap.

Wikipedia - Partially-automated trains are currently used on four lines (Jubilee, Central, Victoria and Northern).[2] These trains still require operators to open and close doors, and to assist in case of emergency. This method of working will be extended to the other lines by 2022 and will also be used on Thameslink and Crossrail.

We've gone from tube trains being manually driven, to the majority of trains now having ATO (so drivers push a single button to begin a journey and thats it, then they open and close the doors). And now the next tube stock which are about to be introduced in 2025 have the ability to be operated entirely without a driver at all (after two modifications) in the same way as the DLR. Within the next generation we will see the end of the tube driver. Its a strange thought.

Except this was filmed in the early 2000s, high tech back then.

10:05 - You did get a pound (a sum of money anyway) for every time you ran down a specific piece of track - it's called a salary!

Maybe less than a pound when he started, but certainly more now!

He’s referring to the amount of times he went up and down that track in his 40 years of driving a train

Imagine how 'high tech' that stuff was back then. Looks ancient these days.

I earn a similar salary to a tube driver, but one major difference is that when a tube driver finishes their shift they can truly switch off as they have no deadlines, projects or emails to worry about. Sure tube drivers have to work unsocial hours but they get far more holiday and pension benefits than the average person.
