I think you meant tube driver. According to the article below, you have to get in the inner circle in TfL first:

i think people should start looking for things that excite them and they would enjoy doing rather than getting a lot of money. This generation is a bit crap eh :wink:

This. They aren't going to just hand out 50k jobs like that. It's a promotion for long term station staff.

'Bout time you realised how much "follow your dreams" has screwed people up and they're regretting their choice. I'm not saying it's wrong, but I'm not saying it's right either. You have no right to criticise this generation.
