Years ago at university I had a job counting traffic - literally standing at the side of the road. Sometimes it was with those clickers and I'd have one for different vehicle type, sometimes with a dicta phone shouting car registrations. One of the best paying was doing tube trains. You had a basic pda and had to press a button the moment a train was visible in the tunnel from the middle of the platform, the moment it stopped, when the doors opened, when everyone was on, when the doors closed, when the trains started to move and when the train was no longer visible. I cycled a lot in London at the time so I was used to terrible air, but after my days/weeks in the tube stations I was feeling awful. I had the worst black snot, a rough chest and my skin was terrible. The 13 hour days likely weren't helping, but the air down there was toxic for sure. I was glad to put that behind me, even if the cash was great.
