Original Note:
Britain is overwhelmingly white. Being a train driver takes many years of training and responsibility-building, so most drivers will be older. Driving professions are all dominated by men. In rail this is likely because part-time driving is blocked by the unions. https://www.railstaff.co.uk/2019/09/19/research-sheds-light-on-why-the-train-driver-role-lags-behind-on-diversity/
