"A small favour for my passenger made me £87,670" My name is Daniel, I'm 54 years old, and I'm from York. For almost 30 years now, I’ve been working as a train driver. To be honest, it wasn't really my life's goal, but let’s take things from the beginning. Throughout my childhood and youth, I was obsessed with machinery. I was constantly reading newspapers, and from about the age of 12, copies of The Railway Magazine, Air Pictorial, Autocar, and Motor started piling up at home—I was completely hooked. On weekends, my friends and I loved running down to the local National Railway Museum; I reckon I knew absolutely everything there was to know about trains. But by the time I turned 15, I completely by chance ended up at the York Gliding Centre with my uncle, who was a pilot. That day, I even managed to go up in a glider with him (for anyone who doesn't know, it's a unpowered aircraft that flies on air currents). After that, I completely forgot about trains. My new goal was to become a pilot. I re-read every possible aviation book in the local library, learned everything there was to know about planes, and was dead certain that after school I would definitely go off to train as a pilot. Much to my regret, it wasn't meant to be. When I was finishing school, my parents still didn't have the money to pay for my pilot training. No, I certainly don't blame them—they always did everything they could for me; that's just how things panned out. In the end, knowing my old love for trains, my parents suggested I go and train to be a train driver. Yeah, I might not have wanted it all that much by then, but I understood I had no choice and that I'd have to study for it anyway. After a year and a half of training, I got onto the so-called "line of promotion"—meaning I was already out on the trains, though not driving solo yet, but riding alongside instructors, senior drivers, and so on. Within 5 years, I had become a fully qualified, independent main-line driver. Looking back overal
