Working on the railway

Heard from someone who works railside in Kent. He says they (gang of four inc safety man) spend most days felling on average, 3 small trees between them during a full shift. No chipping just smash them down & make safe. Money is reasonable but he's having trouble sleeping during the 90 minute lunch stop:blushing:....boring or what? Is this normal, anyone else done it?

Not far from the truth. I did almost a year on the railway before I couldn't take it anymore, its hard work trying not to work and didn't suit me. Being keen to get on makes everyone else look bad, so then you're made out to be the bad guy. Night shut downs were better, limited time to do the job so all hands on deck, and double time pay too.

Never again though!
