25Whoever has enjoyed train journey in his childhood must have thought that he could drive a train when he grows up. But later we come to know that for this one has to do a special job and the salary is not very high. But what if you get a chance to drive a train for a while or get a similar experience? And if children can get such an experience, there will be no limit to their happiness. Preparations are underway to provide such an experience in the UK.
London’s Docklands Light Railway Line, the UK’s most popular train journey, can now sit at the front like a driver and enjoy the pleasure of driving it. These trains run without a driver, so the passenger can enjoy the same by sitting on the front seat.
Not only this, now passengers can feel that they are driving the car and can also see the track in front, just like train drivers do. Many trains running on the DLR line will soon be equipped with cardboard steering wheels, allowing children and adults to feel like a driver.

Recently the Mayor of London was asked in the London Assembly whether he supported similar promotion activity to encourage the use of DLR. On this, the Mayor had said that Transport for London i.e. TfL is considering how children can be given the experience of DLR driving.
Sadiq Khan also told that TfL can also include cardboard steering wheel in it. For this, TFL will also conduct some trials in 2024, in which many more better facilities can be provided to the passengers. With these facilities, the UK government is trying to reduce the travel time of trains.
