The Man in the Ticket Office The Bluebell Railway

Here he sits waiting for people to buy a ticket from him,
he is just like the man who would have sat in the same
place since the railway began, sometimes busy, sometimes
not.....
I feel a little sorry for him cut off , behind bars, from travellers
wanting to purchase a ticket.
Or does he like his job no matter what.
I took this in Sepia to give a feel of yesteryear.
