How can I become a London Underground train driver?

[filthiestfis]

I cannot seem to find any contact info to apply for a job as London Underground train driver. Any ideas?

Been watching Underground Ernie then? (well this is the tv bit)

I applied as a station assistant a few years back (didn't get it). I THINK that is the route you take first, but don't hold me to it - it just seems that way.

This is the TFL site http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/

Thanks but ive already been on the tfl website and im sure that the answer isnt there. I get stressed when thinking about having to work as a station assistant when there are cases of violence and aggression to deal with etc..!

Me again - forgot to add that I actually got details of the job from a Jobcentre website, and there is (or was) a jobcentre in London (can't remember exactly but it's somewhere around Edgware road/paddington area) which tends to deal with LU positions. I still suspect that I am right tho in that you have to be in it in someother capacity first. I also know that you can't just walk into it in the sense that you have to undergo various medical checks and have some basic knowledge of LU rules and procedures, which you get from this other capacity whatever it is.
