Casbar - I've just noticed where you're located, so I think I can guess which TOC we're talking about.

I gave up a very stressful career in the media which was killing me to become a train driver, and found that the railway offered several excellent conditions of service;

* Maximum number of days you can work continuously - limited by law
* Fixed start and finish times, which are only exceeded occasionally
* 12 hours off between shifts - guaranteed by law.
* Sound sleep at night because I'm not worrying about tomorrow's impossible targets
* If my train breaks today, I don't have to drive that one first tomorrow before starting a full day's work.
* I don't have some idiot regularly ringing me up and adding to my work
