I wonder how many of them were originally banged up for nicking things off the railways in the first place? They may have more "trackside experience" than many a regular worker!

But if some of them want to work and turn over a new leaf then good for them.

"Err...yeah, that's right guv, I'm interested in maintaining long lengths of copper wire, honest!" :D
