Thank you for your question Filip, it's great that you're already looking ahead at your options. However, I'm unable to arrange any cab visit for you I'm afraid.
If you get a chance; head to your nearest station, Newton Abbott, and have a chat with the Train Guards operating a service (please bear in mind that they may be completing safety critical duties including dispatch) and they can offer you the best advice when looking at the guards role.
The railway offers all grades a fantastic career and is a job for life!! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out again and I will do my best to answer them for you.
Thanks,
Paul
