I once came across a signalman with a sence of humour

I failed on the east coast north of York about 1989/90 I got on the phone and said I'm a complete failure, which is the correct term...

He says hey dont be so hard on yourself at least you have a job!...

The Box may have been in Birmingham, but it looks like it was a Black Country man who did it.

Ok, I admit it. In 1976 I put a very rude 4-letter word in the berth for Platform 4 at Charing Cross. Only back-row people could put all the alphas in a berth. The panel signalman hooted with laughter - we were having a wind-up at the time.

Yes. But invisible to the paying public. This was mid-morning, when the box was cruising, unlike the morning peak when everyone would be at full concentration.
