He somehow passed the signal at danger despite slowing down to stop at it then ran through a set of motorised points which were set against him, the mind certainly boggles at that. Don't wish to tar everyone 'non railway' with the same brush, but he was 'off the street' so to speak and once he'd passed out showed a distinct attitude to authority, the feeling amongst the rest of us being he only wanted the job for the money and couldn't hack the responsibility of what it actually entailed. Normally, applicants like that are weeded out at the interview stages but he must have slipped though somehow. Have to laugh though, a few years ago one candidate turned up for the first interview reeking of whiskey, I kid you not...!
How the fut did he do that?? Surely if you're watching the line ahead, you'd see the points set against you. Beggars belief.My sister in laws husband drives for Northern Rail and i know from talking to him it's a job that requires a lot attention to detail and concentration. I once applied for a job as a trainee driver but didn't get past the interview so decided not to try again.
When people ask me what I do for a living I just tell them ''I hold a couple of knobs in my hand and stare out of the window a lot...''.

One of the nicest things is seeing the changing of the seasons, the views from the cab are nothing like they are from a car

What's all this General Election stuff? It seems to be forming some kind of Patton, Its all a bit Hauge at the moment and over the top! Stormin Norman would probably agree I suggest we Mountbatten down the Hatches and hold on. I have not seen yet any General Candidates but being as this is a Motoring Website I will be Voting "General Lee" ....Grant-ed some may disagree with this position but Im taking a Leap of Faith.

General Alert! Sound General Quarters!General Hannibal is on the march with his elephants!
We don't want an elephant in the room.
Send for g3org3y and Haggis, and anyone else you can recruit from General Practice.
Mobilise General Motors!
Together we can vanquish General Confusion...
Oh.

Could someone protect the Triv-O-Meter by setting it to Potential Overload Level? Thanks.
Last year the council said if residents wanted to continue to have their garden waste collected in the green bins they would have to pay a £50 a year licence fee. Okay, I suppose so. Thin end of the wedge probably but, hey. Go on their website, pay £50, receive licence, stick it on bin. All good. This year, go to renew licence. Uh, oh. New IT. What was wrong with the old IT? I don't know. Anyway, new IT, new IT provider, new green bin licence web page. It asked for my postcode and gave me all the addresses in the road to choose from. I chose. It asked for my card details and I filled them all in and pressed Purchase. You Have Not Given Your House Number. There's a reason for that. My house doesn't have a number, just a name. Look. It's on the list you provided. We Cannot Accept Payment With Incomplete Data.
Sake.
I emailed the Council. Very nice email back. They know about the problem with the new software. It works with a zero.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, is how your correspondent came to be living at Number 0.
A composter is what you need Dicky.

Bugger!
I missed the switch on!
Who was the celebrity that pulled the lever, Dicky?
I know you don't skimp on these momentous occasions!
The Trivton Gazette were here to record the event. Mrs Brassington threw the switch, Battert threw the tantrum and one of the Greenfield girls threw the brick at the orangery.I missed the switch on!
Who was the celebrity that pulled the lever, Dicky?
I know you don't skimp on these momentous occasions!
And all was well with the world.
Merry Christmas.
