I wonder if they will go bare chested in the hot weather.

Read the article, Hillers.Sunbeam Alpine wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 9:31 am The only thing is that this is NOT what she said.
She did not say there were too many males, but that there were not enough females. An entirely different point.
"It was my experience, growing up, that all the drivers were fifty-plus, white men," she said.
"But lately I am seeing a lot more diversity. More younger people, black people, women. I'm here for it, I love it!"
Before boarding a train, do you peer through the driver's window and go, "Hullo, young black lad! I'm so pleased a young black lad is driving me to London Bridge today! Wow, brilliant!" No you don’t. Why? Because you’re not a lunatic.

But I don't recall seeing female train drivers.
