Hehe. Rail clearance sucks big time - but it is an entry into the industry at a very difficult time, and wil give you a good grounding for the future.

Who's the Company, QTS?

[Steve Bullman]

all chainsaw experience...better than nothing, and you're young so the hard work wont hurt ya

[Alasdair]

as long as they pay me a wage give me experence and there was something else but cant remember what it was now. a bit of hard work never hurt anyone

If your in this industry for the long run then i think its a good experience to have under your belt, career wise. It was my, intention to try and cover as many aspects as possible, railways, powerline, LA, private, freelance, home, abroad and contracting. I think that type of work teaches you a sort of bruteish, getting on, attitude that will see you good later in your career. I must admit though, i didn't care much for it as work, a little dull for my liking. IMHO.

The little railwork I've done has been spent around 50% of the time waiting to get onto the track and the other 50% working very hard to try and get a section clearaed before you were kicked off. (all possesion work) Good experience though, stock up on gauntlets.
