A childhood dream comes true - driving buses, trains in Japan

Tokyo, July 1 (DPA) It's time to fulfil your childhood dream to get behind the wheel of big
vehicles. Japan's bus and train companies are offering a one-day tour to allow amateurs to drive
their vehicles.
With no special licences necessary, travellers and train spotters have a rare chance to conduct a
diesel-engine train in Rikubetsu on the northern island of Hokkaido, the central region of Joso
City and Annaka City.
Anyone older than 13 is eligible for the one-time licence to drive a 20-metre-long train for 150
metres.
