She said all the main characters in the original books – published in the 1940s – are male, and the only female characters are an ‘annoyance, a nuisance and in some cases a danger’ to the railway.


Just like real life. Where's the problem??? Wink

100 females applied for train driver jobs in 2013.

25 of them did not get further than the 1st interviews.

They were all Blondes but decided not to continue in the career move after they discovered that trains are not safe to drive because they do not have steering wheels.

They are all male because males can be better trusted to drive the train well. Rolling Eyes
