Craig Munday, a lifelong railway enthusiast, was introduced to the railways by his father, a diesel hydraulic fanatic, at a young age. He joined the railway YTS scheme in 1985 after seeing behind the scenes of the railway industry on a school work experience week the year before. After that, he became a relief signalman in east Cornwall and has worked across the Western Region in Swindon, Bristol and Cardiff in the operations department. In 2008, he had the opportunity to return to his beloved Cornwall to live and work.
