Toughest Place To Be A Train Driver

  • Hello there.

    I am writing to tap into your collective wisdom and set an interesting challenge.

    I am making a documentary in which we take a British train driver to do his job somewhere else in the world that will challenge him in every way ..  we will take him to the place where it is the toughest place to be a train driver ... But here would that be? It can literally be anywhere in the world.

    Where would get your vote and why?

    Toughness obvious relates to the challenge of driving the train .. it might be technical challenges or physical. It might be because the train is in bad repair or the tracks are falling apart.  It could be extreme heat or extreme cold. 

    Toughness can also be social.  The conditions that a drain driver lives and works in would be a factor too.

    I would love to hear from you.

    I would vote for Antartica as the toughest place in the world to be a train driver.

    Why?

    Because there are no trains there.

  • Thank you John.  I like the idea of filming nothing at all! Might lose a few viewers there though!
