Exactly why tube drivers are well paid. ;-)

As an aside and whilst I get the thought, has anyone here been a tube
driver to be able to say just how 'boring' it is (or isn't)?

Not me. But I know one who currently is, and one who was and moved into
management.

Sometimes the way, especially after a time in service or if they have
some health issues.

I don't have any figures, but have been told these are well above the norm
with tube drivers. Including things like suicide. Perhaps the ultimate
health issue.
That particular mate is a true anorak about all things LT related. Mainly
the history of the tube. Absolutely fascinating.

The only reason the one who currently still does it is for the
money.

I guess there will be people doing it 'for the money' at the outset
and / or maybe times are changing?

Well, most work to pay the bills. Apart from Brexiteers, obviously, who
think it all comes from a printing press. A non union one, of course.
