Can they reverse park, do trains reverse park?
Tbh, I’d much rather my train arrive on time, without cancellations and poor commuting services. Especially after the ridiculous fee I pay with constant, steep yearly rises.
Stupid idea as they won’t be able to work evenings as they need to be home to cook their husbands tea!!
Or, just as accurately, southeastern wants to employ less men. Doesn't sound so good now does it?
Positive discrimination feeds prejudice. How about more blonde train drivers? More gay train drivers? More black, lesbian, vegan train drivers?
Women doing everything.
i dont really give a flying fook if women drivers can drive trains its fine by me ...as long as its not just because they women ...
They better clean up their act as a company then. Who would want to work for SouthEastern?!!
Pish!! ..... Thomas, Percy, Gordon, Henry, James, Edward all drove themselves and Annie & Clarabel simply followed along. That's just how it is in the real world .... although Diesel was possibly a lesbian. I'm leaving Twitter now .......
To be fair most people don’t care if they are male or female as long as they turn up for work and don’t got on strike at the drop of a hat.
Why? Who cares who drives a bloody train! Where the article about wanting more male midwives? Or nurses? Fed up of this constant virtue signalling now
Never see reports like this when it road diggers.
Blatant sexism, we’re trying to get away from this attitude!!
Have they ever considered the idea that women might not want to be train drivers?
Can they do the job = yes = so why is this a question ! Southeastern get up to speed this is 2018 !
Surely they mean more train drivers
Because
How about just good train drivers ( engineers ) period .
I suppose parking won't be an issue 😜🤣
Why is there this obsession to-day about gender symmetry in jobs? Where did equal opportunities go?
Trouble is if they don't apply for the jobs there is nothing you can do, you can't force people to apply for jobs.
More PC bullshit it should be whoever is best the candidate sex shouldn't come into it just waiting for the Trans on trains campaign
Just what we need .. mums driving trains on the school run 😄
Fucking hell, the service is bad enough
Some jobs appeal more to men. Boys, in my experience, want to drive trains. I wanted to build a fleet of spaceships and rule the galaxy with my all-female armies.
Women only being sought for marketing purposes to make a failing company look half decent. Pathetic window dressing.
As long as they don’t have to reverse park they’ll be fine
Nobody cares about the sex of the train driver. If there is a driver or even if the train crashes. We are only focused on what kind of jacket JC will be wearing next November 11th.
I agree. Women tend to be more agreeable, so there will be less disruption from strikes if there are more women driving trains.
They dont care if they are the best for the job just that they are women. Stop forcing diversity. If more women wanted to be train drivers then they would be.
That's because it's fashionable, it would make more sense to have the best drivers.
Why is the sex so important ?
We passengers just want more train drivers really. Couldn’t care the gender. Just get me from A to B
And We the commuters, just want them to run on time!
Sounds bigoted and selective.
Why?
That's good, I can now sleep better at night knowing that.
I can see a lot of trains genders applying..
Why.
A I will make human train drivers obsolete soon. Robots will penetrate all employment sectors. V worrying for jobs.
rufcbilly
Should be ok. Trains don’t have to be reverse parked😀.
Why?
No doubt they’ll avoid the ‘I self-determine myself as female’ trap, by stipulating “must be in possession of a fully-functional vagina (train driving experience optional).
I’m a male who identifies as a women. With labia stapled to my pants, I will be a great train driver.
like the one that got lost ?
Does it really matter FFS. PC getting silly
Should be quite easy for women, at least you don't have to parallel park a train.
What Southeastern should strive for is the “best” train drivers... The sex of the driver should not come into it.
Couldn't we just have more drivers and choose who gets the job on merit? Seems kinda discriminatory to only ask for females. What would the reaction to only white people were able apply for the job.
They should focus on running the trains to the timetable rather than virtuesignalling
A 'train' for a woman usually has a different, not pleasant, connotation- at least in the states..Perhaps recruit for the railroad.. - Southeastern wants more women train drivers
Gosh loves this over pc stuff.........
I’ll do it ! Pay is better than HGV drivers and probably easier too
I woke up this morning feeling like a woman, can I get the job?
Thank goodness i don't use the train they are bad enough on the roads🙈
why does gender matter if a train needs driving?
