Rail Professional Magazine (April 2021) Article: Special skills?…..or just special people?

Posted on 23rd April 2021

Dr Stephen Fletcher, Director and Psychologist at the OPC shared research into what makes an outstanding train driver and why some drivers' performance is head and shoulders above the rest. The research was completed working alongside job experts and outstanding drivers from five train operating companies.  Having worked with drivers and train operators for nearly 30 years, the OPC has seen examples of exceptional train drivers. One of the OPC’s specialist skills is supporting clients to recruit the ‘very best drivers’ from a pool of talent and developing assessment tools that help ensure the ideal person for the role.
