Lower age limit for train drivers rule
May 07, 2025
|Derby Telegraph
EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLDS will be allowed to drive trains amid concerns over driver shortages.
-
The minimum age to take on the role in Britain is to be lowered from 20, the Department for Transport (DfT) has announced.
Rail services are frequently disrupted because several operators rely on drivers voluntarily working extra shifts to run timetabled services.
The Government hopes cutting the age at which people can qualify as a train driver will reduce this reliance on rest day working.
It said 87% of cancellations made the night before a service is scheduled to run are caused by driver shortages.
The average age of a UK train driver is 48, with 30% set to reach retirement age by 2029.
