This book contains a collection of stories from days gone by and
the time that I spent working for British Rail. Some of these
stories are unbelievable but I can assure you that that did happen
well most of them anyway. There are descriptions of how people went
through their working days on the railway, some on the footplate,
some working in signal boxes, some on platforms, some on the
permanent way and of course managers. Also contained within this
book are stories from the Railway cat fraternity as life on the
railway would be sad indeed without cats. This book examines the
way that life has changed within the railway community over the
last 50 years with the transition from privatisation through to
nationalisation through to privatisation. The railways were
transformed but at the end of this transformation nothing really
has changed as you will see within the stories. The world has
gotten faster, the railways too have gotten faster but because of
the railway infrastructure, it still takes the same amount of time
to get from A to B as it did 50 years ago. The only real change is
that today the railway is run not by railwaymen who knew their
trade but by faceless managers who haven't got a clue how to run a
railway but boy do they know how to make money. It indeed a modern
world.
