Hi all,
I'm an engineer with a little experience on rolling stock, but I now work in an unrelated industry where my work hours are quite liberal.
I have a lot of days off per month and would be interested in earning some extra cash doing something interesting... now I heard of a guy in a previous job that used to do track inspection in his spare time as he had PTS and some other tickets. He could literally check an agency and take an odd nights work here and there. Similarly I knew of a guy in the rail company I worked for that used to go down to London on odd days to do "electromechanical" inspections on underground trains before they went out for the day.
Does anyone here know of any more detail on jobs like this, and what types of courses may be worth doing to assist if they do exist? Google won't give me anything, nor will searching the forum so it may be a pipe dream!
Many thanks for any help!
