Title: Hello and Hi
Post by: wabbit on February 01, 2014, 09:53:24
Hi, just another introduction as a newbie on the site.  I started in the railway industry (90s) as an apprentice engineer, working on Class 323 EMU and Glasgow Subway Trailer Cars before the company encountered some "difficult trading conditions"....  I then had many fun years doing Engineering/Operations in the Army, before deciding to get out and get a proper job (still in Engineering), which now sees me currently commuting from Chris F-N's favourite station to London every day.  Hopefully I can add some value to this excellent site, and be of use to the wider Great Western community.  I've enjoyed reading the posts so far, and widely support the expansion of the railway, especially around the Bristol area (which badly needs it).

Welcome to the Coffee Shop forum, wabbit - and welcome to Nailsea!  :)

(I've split your post off into this new topic, rather than adding to an existing thread.)

Regards, CfN.  ;D

sorry I though being in engineering was the definition of a proper job!

Welcome from me too.
