I thought about that and used to really want to (although I was leaning slightly more towards vline than metro). But train driver positions usually draw a lot of applicants, and out of those they accept almost none

Don't count it out because of statistics. If you have the right qualities for the job one of the people they do accept could very well be you.

Obviously having other options as well is important, but I know a lot of people who have gotten those sorts of competetive jobs. It never hurts to try.

Maybe look into WA then? I've seen driver ads more than once - possibly not a popular choice here.

Certainly a possibility!
