Ep.41 From Policing to Train Driver with Matt Kent

From Policing to Train Driver with Matt Kent In this episode, I'm talking with Matthew (Matt) Kent. Now I think this episode is going to be incredibly popular, because Matthew is a former Police Officer, who left after 10 years to become a train driver, and he's been a train driver for the last 5 years. In this episode, we talk about his reasons for leaving, and what he actually did in the job, we talk about the reaction of his colleagues and his supervisors, when he handed in his resignation. We also talk about the selection process that he went through and actually what's required now. We talk about the training that's involved, the salary, and we also discuss the role itself and how it's impacted his life and his family. We also discuss, how to find the vacancies. Matt is a lovely bloke and he was so happy to share his experiences with us.
