My interest in railways was being taken off the dole in 1981, and been given a job as a guard on BR.
This was the best move I ever made.
Regular pay, eg £75 per week, on a 42 hour roster, cheap rail travel, and being able to support my young son and my wife in times when thing s were tough.
Then a side ways move which increased my wage to £124 per week and 8 miles a day less to travel.
