#5 All Girls Roar- The Podcast- The Train Driver Heather Waugh

Why are there still so few women in the rail industry? As Scotland's only female freight train driver, Heather Waugh opens up about the opportunities for women in the rail industry and how there's a place for everyone in the industry. Heather drove passenger trains for 15 years before switching to freight trains and talks about unconsciously trying not to bring attention to herself as a way of conforming in the industry and the journey she has been on to use her voice more to encourage women to think about careers in the industry. Heather unravels some of the myths around careers in rail and explains why diverse workplaces can only benefit everyone.
