New Train Commuter Has Train Driver Connections!

A new train commuter who has migrated from overseas has shared a story or  two about  a special train driver. It was her husband. She had told me  of once she wasn't aware that she was travelling on the same train as her husband driving it - sounds good as she obviously got home safely.

Explained that he was a guard for 3 years and  now has been a train driver for one year. She was explaining that if he was in her origin of country that there would be commuters on top of trains - travelling so called first class.

Then she advised how one time her husband was driving a train slowly and a gentleman dropped his umbrella on the train tracks from the station platform and when down to pick it up - her husband had noticed him doing this and drove the train slowly and stopped to allow him to pick it up and go back to the platform - but didn't think it was smart or worth it for the commuter to do this! 

Apparently what we don't know is how emotionally upset train drivers are when graffiti artists or people scratch the front window screens of the trains, making it hard  for drivers to see clearly in front of them. This is when we need all round security where all trains are stored overnight!
