802s from the top.
By Mick House.

I was in Truro today to see the Network Rail measurement train and four 802s turned Up, two sets of two. So I decided to take some roof shots, for strange people like myself that like that sort of thing, it makes a change to see shots like this on the site. Thrown in for good measure at the end is the Network Rail measurement train.
     Report and photographs by Mick House.              Many thanks Mick.

While most of us are either settled in our careers or retired, to the younger element we bring a link to a very well paid job.
Oliver has inserted a link to his Career Guide  below:

Let me know your thoughts about the guide, any way I can help and if you think it can be of use to your site.
