39 hours a week maximum? HEY, where can I get a UK residency and work VISA. <br />I'm an Engineer for AMtrak, with 26 years as an Engineer, 31 years railroading altogether, currently run the ACELA between Boston & New York, typical workday is 10 hrs PLUS, I work about 52 hours a week plus more if they call me on my day off and I agree. Because wages have not caught up with the cost of living in the Northeastern part of the country (BOSTON-NY-WASHINGTON) most engineers find it impossible to live on a straight 40 hour week, which is "standard" in the workplace. <br />If I were to live in a ONE ROOM flat in New York City, a month's rent would cost me all of one week's "take-home" pay (before taxes) and half of the next. <br />Feel free to contact me by e-mail if you wish. <br />b.t.w. Did you ever drive the Class 50 "Hoover" diesels? I'm a financial supporter of their preservation.
