PW - yes you are spot on about the railways LOL
I know many ex techies now working with trains etc - they get paid far more than I do
I do miss the sights, sounds, and smells though (and that was just the crewroom!)
Actually the crewroom was still similar until a few (phew ?) years ago - we all have to behave these days (generally speaking) - very tedious !
