When I was a little Kaled mutant I wanted to be a train driver when I grew up. Okay, so being Emperor of the Daleks has its priviledges, but the work/life balance is not so good and this little article got me thinking:
Bankers, teachers and chemists are leaving their professions to become train drivers, research has found. Flexible hours and a salary which can top £35,000 a year were among the main attractions, drivers union Aslef said.
Train driving draws professionals
I think that is rather poor pay compared to tube drivers who start of £34k basic but, then again, as Bob Crow is always saying, tube staff are all prepared to jump on a suicide bomber to muffle the blast in order to protect their customers.
