The Driving Department is a department of the Supervisor rank, overseeing both Trainee Drivers and Qualified Drivers. This department involves assisting with the training of new Qualified Drivers as well as keeping the game running smoothly, for which they are given moderation permissions in-game.

Before the Supervisor unification, this department was previously its own rank known as Lead Driver (then formerly Leading Driver), bearing the initials [LD]. It was the only Supervisor rank with a two-letter abbreviation, as other Supervisor roles had three-letter abbreviations.

Driving Department Supervisors are able to co-host Dispatcher, Guard and Practical Signaller trainings, along with hosting and co-hosting Qualified Driver trainings.
