Can you please guide me on how to become a train driver or how to apply for it ?

Hi, Network Rail currently manage the infrastructure that the trains run upon rather than the trains themselves which has previously been franchised to other companies. So I have no knowledge regarding the answer to your question. However, trains and track are soon due to come together under Great British Railways (GBR).
