Hi John
A month sounds to me a very short time to train someone to become a train driver. I thought even in this day and age it might have been longer.

Steam was different and during the years spent firing all aspects of driving was learnt and as secondman the same thing.

I'm not saying let a person be a secondman for many years but perhaps a couple of years would be long enough to learn driving skills.
