My son, who is based at Neasden depot, mentioned last night, that one would be out, on Saturday.

My son will driving the train for the first time tomrrow. On the Watford branch. There are now three units, at the depot.

My son started his training, on the new 'S' stock, this week. Strictly theory atm. He hasn't 'had a go' yet. But is very impressed. Apparently, they are like extremely long bendy buses, rather than separate carriages .

AS I originally said Sainsbury's car park. Not the store, itself. And I have corrected my typo to read S&DJR. Honestly. I didn't mean to start world war III, over such a trivial subject.

My son was on duty, yesterday, on the Met line, and says he saw one of the new 'S' stock, out on driver training, between Northwood and Pinner.

Not to mention, Bath Green Park station, which, I am led to believe, is now a Sainsbury's car park.

That would be quite extraordinary, if it could be re-opened, throughout. But wasn't a viaduct, or something, demolished? I seem to recall a TV programme about the line, where former driver Peter Smith, was walking along part of the line, until they came to a sheer drop. Oh....and thank you...

I have to concur, with the 'A' stock. My son drives them, and much prefers them over the Jubilee and Northern lines stock.

Co-incidently. My current pair of spectacles is from specsavers.

Yes there are. But I can't for the life of me, remember the name. Very realistic. according to my son, who is a tube driver. Only thing that spoils it, is the same bunch of passengers, on every single station. Have you Googled. btw?

I am a recently qualified Old age perisher. I enjoy taking liberties with my over 60's freedom pass. :wink:

Oops! Just watched it on YouTube. There are two sacks of mail, right at the edge. But on my Sony HD wide screen TV. You don't see them. Anyway. Going back a bit. In the 1960's epic 'Exodus'. Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint, in the restaurant balcony scene. During their conversation. His shirt...
