Not everyone. Much as I would like to attend one of these meets, family life sometimes has to take priority.

Even I'm still here, despite being on a RD and only living half hour away!!
(A bit of a stomach upset unfortunately)

*waves* I saw Phil, Harsig, trainopd78, MetApp and three others whose names I have forgotten. Oh dear - I must have a doppelganger! I would have been there but the derailment in the Gloucester area (4 miles of track torn up) meant that with services disrupted at BOTH ends of my journey the trip just wasn't feasible! |

The one I took is still on my camera - I didn't get home until late last night and so I haven't had chance to even start sorting the ~350 photos I took at the weekend (although not all of them are LU related).
On Monday I decided to spend a day on the Underground taking photos. My route, as I remember it, was:
Leytonstone -> Stratford (Central)
Stratford -> West Ham (Jubilee)
West Ham -> Mile End (District)
Mile End -> Monument (District)
Monument -> Bank (long walk)
Bank -> Waterloo (W&C)
Waterloo -> Mornington Crescent (Northern)
Mornington Crescent -> Finchley Central (Northern) - I was indending to go to Mill Hill East, but signalling problems prevented that
Fincheley Central -> Angel (Northern)
Angel -> Kings Cross (Northern)
Kings Cross -> Paddington (Circle)
Paddington -> Baker Street (H&C)
Baker Street -> Rayner's Lane (Met)
Rayner's Lane -> South Harrow (Picc)
South Harrow -> Ealing Common (Picc)
Ealing Common -> Earl's Court (District)
Earl's Court -> Wimbledon (District)
Wimbledon -> West Croydon (Tramlink)
West Croydon -> Church Street (walk)
Church Street -> Birkbeck (Tramlink)
Birkbeck -> Beckenham Junction (Tramlink)
Beckenham Junction -> Victoria (SE Trains)
Victoria -> Oxford Circus (Victoria)
Oxford Circus -> Baker Street (Bakerloo)
Baker Steet -> Paddington (Bakerloo)
Photos will be online in about a week or so (hopefully)
Chris

I'm part way through sorting all the photos I took on the meet weekend, before I put them all online though there are three photos from the depot that I have no idea what they are of one is a train - but which sort of train? the other two are cab photos, but the cabs of which sort of train are they? Any answers here would be much appreciated. Chris ps: It would help if I told you where the photos are sucs.org/~cmckenna/photos/temp/ |

The first picture is of an 83 stock drimving motor car. The other 2 pictures are of a 72 stock cab - I suspect a mark one, which has not been modified for OPO.

Apart from the fact that you all look pi$$ed off I can't see anything wrong with it. Many thanks.
(I see CJ actually let you take his picture this time. Well done see CJ so let 's see more in the future)
