I'm amused by the idea that railway staff have the right to finish in time
for the last train home.
The driver who drives the last train home can't catch another tarin
home what ever time the trains finish and I'm called ignorant.
Perhaps they could get a passenger to drive the last train of the day
so all the staff could get home.

The driver who drives the last train also tends to be the driver who
also drives the first train. There are night turns (I know this as I am
that driver this week!) to cover these things.
