Karen Harrison

Karen Harrison (16 November 1960 – April 2011) was the first woman in Britain to be appointed as a train driver,〔(Locomotive Journal, March 2006 – A WOMAN'S PLACE: A BRIEF CELEBRATION )〕 during which time she was an active trade unionist and political campaigner.
== Early years ==
Harrison, the daughter of a Customs officer, was born in Glasgow and raised in London, attending St. Michael's Catholic Grammar School, Finchley. She left school at sixteen, working at London's Marquee Club during the heyday of punk rock before applying to British Rail in 1977 with the aim of starting an apprenticeship as a 'Secondman' which, at the time, was the first step to becoming a train driver.
Harrison's struggle to become a train driver began immediately she appeared for her interview with the British Rail recruitment officers, who had assumed their latest applicant would be male. Upon meeting Harrison and discovering her gender, they endeavoured to push her away from a career on the locomotive footplate and towards secretarial duties. However, she refused to be put off and insisted she wanted to become a train driver.
