This has turned into a very good subject, and I am grateful to the fellow forum members, who are more versed in the workings of todays railways than I ever will be, for their brilliant contributions.
I really feel that we have let standards fall in virtually every aspect of work and life, and I cannot for the life of me accept it.
I know everything was'nt perfect before, but we have so many rules and reg's now but no one seems to carry them out. We are all H&S'd out. We are supposedly belonging to a "nanny state", but nobody takes responsibility for their actions.
I was an engineer for 40 years, and made many mistakes to which I put my hands up. I dont see that mentallity anymore, and the higher up the ladder you go, the more you get paid for your mistakes.
Paul.
