Just seen (from the comfort of my Chiltern Turbo) 5110 coupled to an S stock train outside Neasden depot with lots of high viz crawling around. Anyone know what this is about?
Both 5234 (including 6036) and 5110 were seen in the Klondyke late morning.
Let's hope they don't hurt her! (5110 that is!) ;D

So we have two different stories! Which one is correct. What happened to 5234? Surely that could have helped out? It was 100 yds from 5110 this morning. Is the RAT still in use?

Maybe both stories are right - it was driver training in how to rescue the RAT if it gets stuck when out and about  (I'm only jesting with this btw!) Guessing you didn't get a picture, metman? |

Sadly not, we were travelling and my mouth was wide open (in a 'what are they doing to my train' way!). Also my phone is rubbish too! |

Indeed, how dare they couple one of the old trains to the most excellent S Stock! Oh well, shame about the image but never mind - I probably wouldn't have been able to either  |
