Rail Upgrade Zones

[STB]

Tuitions need to occur on every line, drivers and guards need to pass testing and have knowledge on every run, they generally have a timetable, however, it's actually a Control Day of Operation movement, ie: the Tutor Drivers talk with Control for their tuition requirments.  Hence, despite having an actual scheduled timetable, they very rarely run to it.

Why not buy a simulator? Aircraft operators use this method.
What do they do in other states/overseas?

As previously mentioned, they do.  However, actual on the rail tuition still needs to occur.  It's no different to other states and overseas, normal procedure to have actual real life on the rail tuition occuring, just like with trainee pilots who take to the skies with their instructors.
