Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Gravy Trains book 2 is the continuing exploration of life on
British Railways. I have spent over 40 years on the railway in
various jobs but predominately as a train driver. I have known and
befreinded many other people from other grades within the railway
industry and had many fun battles with them. These are a few tales
of my time on the railway and the adventures that i had. Some are
unbelievable but i assure you these things did happen and the
people that i met did really exist. Go ahead and endulge yourselves
in these tales. It is easy reading and will bring a smile to your
face.
This book contains a collection of short stories about belief and
non belief. It is about religion but not religion. In my opinion,
if you wish to believe in things that cannot be proven then go
ahead and do it freely but please do not try to foist your beliefs
onto anyone who is not interested. The stories contained within
this book are works of fiction and are not written to offend or
draw anyone into any religious belief. Enjoy these stories and make
up your own minds. God would.... Just thoughts on religion death
and rebirth..
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.
