I’m surprised there’s shortages, I thought loads of people apply to be train drivers?

For many years the TOCs have opted to hire drivers for 6 days a week, and rely on voluntary overtime to cover Sundays. This has led to many strikes.
And many may apply, but it’s about who can get through training and pass the psych evaluation and who still wants to do it.
