Northam Traincare Depot Open Day

[Lrd]

It was Northam Depot's 10th aniversary so they held an open day, you can view the details of the day here.

Here are the pictures that I took of the day, please note that I am not a photographer of any sorts and I was using a Samsung Galaxy S4 as my camera.

Some nice pictures there.

Are there any more open days like this?

I probably passed you or something then! Would have been nice to say hello if I knew what you looked like !

I enjoyed the track scratch on the steam shuttle, was well worth the £1, in fact £2 would have been worth it, didn't expect it to leave the Depot and run to the end of the Shunt Neck sidings area!

Who else on here was playing around with the PA? I did join in making a Portsmouth announcement and Southampton announcement with buses onto Weymouth, other's were claiming the 444 was off to places like Shepperton, Bristol and Doncaster hock:

I did see a group of people playing with the PA in the cab of the 444 but I couldn't hear anything that was said, so I could've looked right at you not knowing who you were! That's a strange feeling :P

The Steam ride was definitely worth the pound and I would have happily paid more but it looks like they were busy all day so hopefully they made plenty of money. I was lucky to be on the first run and it wasn't too busy so got some great views/smells!
