Congrats Bookworm.  Just remember however that you are driving a train and not a submarine or U-boat. 
On a slightly related topic I have read much about how the train network back in Sydney is a total disaster right now. Overloaded capacity, loads of delays and all kinds of problems. Is this the case? :hmm: It's only been about 6 years since I moved from home in Manly, Sydney to London, UK. If it is true how did the whole train and public transport network go tits-up so quickly? 
EDIT: The below quote and linked article is an example of what I mean about problems with the public transport system in Sydney. This article in the SMH came out today by chance.
Quote:
THE long-delayed $2.3 billion Epping to Chatswood Rail Line has been hit by another critical problem: noise levels in the carriages so deafening that transport chiefs fear commuters will not want to use the service.
The problem surfaced when the first train was run through the 12.5-kilometre tunnel about six months ago but has still not been solved, despite an intended February opening.
The Herald has been told that noise levels during the 15-minute journey hit 90 decibels, the equivalent of a Boeing 737 coming in to land.
