First female train driver at Koleje Mazowieckie

Gabriela Karaś set off on her own for the first time on August 5 from Eastern Warsaw at 9:18 am. The train left for Skierniewice. “Mrs. Gabriela, we wish you only green!”, wrote Koleje Mazowieckie about this.

Gabriela Karaś began training in July 2019. And two years later, on July 7, 2021, she passed the exam and received a driver’s certificate, informs railway magazine Railway Supply, citing Rynek Kolejowy.

“I would like other girls who are interested in railways to follow me. I want to show them that you can do anything. I confess that at first everything was difficult for me, but over time, when I acquired more and more knowledge, I managed to systematize it and become more confident. From the very beginning, during the course, we were told that we have a great responsibility, and we take on this responsibility fully and consciously”, said Gabriela Karaś.

More and more women are driving trains on Polish railways!
