If you go onto the southern web site, Home - Southern railway, on the menu on the left, click on "ABOUT SOUTHERN", cursor down to "CAREERS AT SOUTHERN" and click on that.
On the right hand side of the new page there's a link to "SOUTHERN RECRUITMENT". Click on that and it takes you to their recruitment page.
I get blocked from going on to it at work so cannot obtain the link but follow these instructions and you should be ok.

Sorry but Southern have stopped recruiting and shut the training school

Have you tried London Underground? They always used to be looking for drivers and I think the pay was quite good.

A mate of mine got a job driving steam trains.
He was well chuffed.

Don't do it!

Apparently one of the most soul destroying jobs around due to the sheer amount of people who choose to top themselves on the tracks. Could you get over seeing something so horrific, and being helpless to do anything to save them?

Well....whats the pay like ?
