Default If you thought train drivers today were bad....

A century ago, my great great uncle was in the black book:

Lol
All my gripes today centre around the appalling information systems. Best Mate's son is an engine driver, so I hear things from the inside now.
But I was shocked to see that the sanction for driving off with an employee still under the train was only a week's loss of pay.
On the other hand there are no further recorded incidents so perhaps the fine shocked him into being more careful.
