If you dont like your job, hand in your notice and leave. It's not
hard.

OTOH the ability to drive an Underground train is not a transferable
skill.

Indeed, it's barely a skill at all

Face it, TfL and its franchise holders have a monopoly on
needing workers with that particular skill. Unless the ex-drivers are
prepared to become bottom-rung, menial, unskilled workers

Tube driving isn't menial? 'Push "Open", Push "Close", Slide Forwards,
Mumble into tannoy (only the best ones), Slide backwards, Repeat.'

somewhere
else, TfL has them by the short n' curlies. It's not surprising they
spend so much effort fighting back!

Retrain in your spare time. Stop reading The Sun and read "Beginners guide
to doing a job"
