It sounds like being a train driver would be a job choice for you. Not sure if you need to be qualified to drive metro trains before you can get to do the long distance ones (given they also run in towns). But you'd probably enjoy metro trains as well - even though there are a lot of people on the trains you don't interact with them as a driver, the only interaction is putting out the wheelchair ramp as needed. Downside is hitting the occassional person which can be stressful.
I thought about that and used to really want to (although I was leaning slightly more towards vline than metro). But train driver positions usually draw a lot of applicants, and out of those they accept almost none
Don't count it out because of statistics. If you have the right qualities for the job one of the people they do accept could very well be you.
Obviously having other options as well is important, but I know a lot of people who have gotten those sorts of competetive jobs. It never hurts to try.

Maybe look into WA then? I've seen driver ads more than once - possibly not a popular choice here.
Certainly a possibility!
