I was unsure which line thread to put this in but knowing how you District drivers like your scenery I thought I would put it here! ;D
I was unable to take my "Little Train" up to Rayners last night due to a D78 coming off the rails going into EC Depot about midnight. Instead I had to screw it down in Acton sidings and with 2 other Picc Drivers pilot Districts from Acton WB to Acton EB via Northfields Depot (much to the perplexion of the cleaners who thought they now had to clean 2 stocks!)
This went on until about 3am and needless to say there are now 9 "Green" Drivers fully conversed in the "Picc Way!" The last 3 cars were uncoupled about 4am and when I finally got to go to Rayners about 5ish the front 3 cars were still there with the DM car at a wierd angle with about 20 people milling around it. It had been removed by the time myself and the 3 stranded Piccs came back EB at about half past 5.
I haven't piloted a District that way for about 5 years but the sound of all those tree branches against the roof and windscreen soon brought those memories flooding back!! ;D
Night all.
