Jeez, I bet you must've held the passengers, because they were not
paid anything at all, but who actually paid to ride the trains, in
total and utter contempt!!

If everyone thought the way you do, and thank heavens we don't, the
rich could ignore anyone they felt wasn't their fiscal equal such as
police, security staff, ambulance drivers, firemen, doctors, etc. and
do as they damn well please.

Seems to me that since it was a condition of your employement that you
would have to work with someone on half your wages, you have stuff all
to complain about the bloke "six cars back". 

Typical pommy attitude, that seems to permeate at every strata of
English society, and even foreigners if they stay long enough.
