I was always taught the railway runs on tea, overtime and sarcasm!
All the best for 2017 Captain!
Well, I always subscribed to that line in the BTF classic 'Snowdrift at Bleath Gill', where the narrator (Deryck Guyler) said 'the railway runs on tea and bad language!' Pretty similar, but the overtime bit is still as true today as it ever was. Some former colleagues were bemoaning the number of vacancies in the SW signaller grades the other day, even they seem to be getting a bit tired of the constant overtime!
