Some of us were working 70 hour weeks. In the end GWT had to hire more staff. These fat cats haven't got a clue. Now we are working 12 hours a day and often we're forced to go back on shift ten hours later. When you're tired it's easy to miss red lights or make errors.
Train drivers are only human.
Walking into the canteen after the crash was one of the worst things I have ever done. One minute everyone's crying. The next everyone's spitting blood. The bosses are keeping well away. They know things could explode and they are in the firing line.
