I don't think WSR is a registered trademark, it is merely an acronym.

From my own experiences I have learnt that it is a great job to have provided you work with the right people and the right railway but you do learn a hell of alot.
The thing is and I say this from my own personal experience I choose to work at the MRC and sometimes I and other volunteers have thought of changing railways due to the politics of the place being wrong..........

Never seriously considered changing railways - that's not to say I haven't seriously considered banging the odd prima donna's head against a carriage a few times to induce some clarity based thinking

You aren't talking about me are you? Since I'm the prima donna of the guards van.Never seriously considered changing railways - that's not to say I haven't seriously considered banging the odd prima donna's head against a carriage a few times to induce some clarity based thinking

You and others dear! Not naming names, I'm far too nice
I'm thinking of volunteering on the Cholsey & Wallingford Railway. Anyone know anything about them?
Although I have no working knowledge of the railways (other than being a commuter
), I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, wield a paintbrush, shovel, broom etc or get my back in to shifting sleepers around, or for that matter do what I'm told by someone with far more experience!!
Do I fit the type of person who normally volunteers?
