A new prototype static train cab simulator has been delivered to Northern to help new trainee drivers.
24 of the cab replicas will feature video footage of 610 miles of real track across Northern England.
The units will complement the motion platform simulators and two crew training facility units that simulator passenger door controls.
Northern says that this will speed up the time it takes to train crews.
“We have over 3,400 drivers and conductors based across our network and it’s important each and every one of them has the skills and knowledge to perform at their best.
Lisa Leighton, people director at Northern
