"They're not worrying themselves, at the top Why should I worry? If had my time again, I'd do what the youngsters do and grab all I can get..." (Frank Gates, driver of the Royal Train and express train driver)
Training:
"Seventy per cent of my day was wasted. There was no systematic instruction. I'm not bright but I'm not dim either and there must be something wrong somewhere."
(Birmingham Apprentice)
