hello everyone;
I will have a train driver license in turkey soon. With a document I will get here, I can also drive trains in other countries. What are the conditions to be able to do this job in your country? I will be glad if you help me.

I believe that your major problem will not be so much the license itself but more the language spoken in that country.
Since all radio communication is done in the native language of the country, you would have to be fluent in that language to even be able to understand flawlessly the communication. Also, signals are different in many countries and you would have to pass a new test to understand the particularities of those signals. Rules and regulations are also different, just like in aviation.
In aviation, your private pilot's license (people) or commercial license (CPL) has to be endorsed to the one of the new country after undergoing a number of flying hours and both an written test and a new flight test with an instructor. I presume that for train licenses, you would have to undergo a similar test as well.
Thank you for the answer. So, is there a job application or website in your country related to this?
you will have to check the internet for the position of "train driver". I did a quick search in the UK and came across this site. Good luck.

Thank you for the help. Can I reach you again here in case of any problems?
I don't see how I can help you. If you check your search engine for the key words, you will be able to achieve just as much as I do.
Look that up on Google.
