There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.

There seems to be a theme between former/current public transport workers - WHY?I myself worked on the railway all my life and enjoyed(almost)every minute.Bus people are also as emphatic.Does any other industry create such long term interest?Time for a new thread for people such as us and the rest of the crew in other industries?
Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.90% of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at.

That's true. I wonder whether it's because people have a passion for transport where you wouldn't, for instance, have a passion for stitching seams or mopping floors in offices. Bus and train people are actually interested in the vehicles they used.
