Collective Nouns

[Welshman]

Poor night on the telly, so I started wondering about collective nouns for railway workers, and came-up with the following [some rather obvious, I'm afraid]:-

a grip of RPIs;
a chuff of steam heritage volunteers;
a frame of signallers;
a maternity of MOMS
a sentry of gateline staff.

Any other suggestions?
