I've always gathered there's quite a waiting list to get in. This from a tube driver:
>You need to find a role within TfL. It doesn't have to be customer facing, but it has to be something within TfL. Once you're employed for 6 months with TfL, you can apply for Train Operator, when the job is available. If you pass all the interviews and assessments, you'll be entered into a queue before you start training. This could be a couple of years. In short, yes it is pretty hard to get the job of tube driver. https://www.reddit.com/r/LondonUnderground/comments/ti7skk/h...
Mostly because there aren't that many lowish skilled jobs paying £70k for a 35 hour week in London.
