    Met 1 has failed. L150 is going to be in use instead.

    Disappointing, perhaps I should have gone out for the test runs after all.

    Something was, it was nice and toasty in there! Sarah was working too, humming away merrily to itself.

    L150 was a contrast to Sarah S and as Nigel posted the coaches were warm! Very knowledgeable steward in coach A !
    A really good value trip and very good fun and only marred by some terrible behaviour by senior enthusiasts. I was ashamed to be an enthusiast but the situation was resolved......my first trip with 5521 in its new guise!

    Next year may be Hammersmith to MOORGATE (not Edgware Rd) but it's v early days and there are other ideas.
    A wonderful day! Thank you to the Tfl Heritage folks

    Yes I did but mine was in our coach where 2 very well known enthusiasts were v unpleasant to a family of4 with 2 keen ,young lads. One passenger insisted leaving at Uxbridge and the family became v upset....HOWEVER,the family still enjoyed it(eventually)as I did!but in spite of this boorish behaviour. I hope TFL don't feel line side behaviour is an issue! I suspect they will carry on but this sort of behaviour does our wonderful,fantastic hobby no favours!

    Double heading of a 262T and an ancient electric in London was a first for me!

    Yes a couple of people climbed on the bank and came down immediately they were told as did those who were told to stand back behind the yellow line (a standard LUL announcement on any day). Silly behaviour - yes - appalling - no. If the behaviour had been really bad then they would have been ordered off the station.

    As I thought with the trips in May to Amersham, it's a shame they insist on putting the heritage coach next to the class 20
