Train strike? Not at Nottingham Castle as drivers sought for attraction ahead of summer launch

As millions struggle with travel chaos across the UK on the first of three days of strikes by rail workers, things are looking up in Nottingham. The Castle is on the lookout for drivers ahead of the launch of their land train to help ferry visitors through grounds.

It comes after the land train took its first journey today (21 June) to mark one year since the Castle's reopening and was met with excitement from visitors and passers-by.

The role involves driving the train as well as offering an insight into the Castle for visitors. People visiting Nottingham Castle over the summer will be able to take a ride on the electric train which runs from Brewhouse Yard, down by the Ye Old Trip to Jerusalem to the top of the castle at Castle Colonnade.
