I am curious to note the Office for Budget Responsibility saying today that the last three years have been the deepest recession in the UK in 300 years. Maybe they should tell ministers. https://t.co/XWPnE3ucWg

Five years ago I moved into rail. I’d worked for the church for 12 years, had a break for medical reasons, and found a role in an industry I knew nothing about.
It took a while to “learn the language” & how the industry brain works but I’m convinced rail can be a great place…
