Ai conditioned stations???? Cabs????? The place is a hell hole.


Should I have brought my violin along? Lots of the trains have air con
and heating IN THE DRIVERS CAB, and compared to a bus drivers job its a
piece of ****. No traffic, no steering wheel, no worrying about the
next
fare sticking a knife at your throat. Hell hole my a*se. Sure they have
to
train for lots of emergency situations and have to know to do A if B
happens
or C if D happens, but 99% of their time is spent sitting on their
backsides moving a lever back and forth. Yeah , tough life! If they
think
they're hard done by perhaps they'd like to try door to door selling
around
various rough east end council estates like I did when I was younger
where you risked getting bitten by the some knuckle draggers pitbull or
beaten up by the local gang and have all your stuff nicked!
