Was it not on diesel?

It was on Diesel on departure from Basingstoke (due to gaps in the third rail), Woking, and Clapham Junction, but once upto about 20-25mph, driver whacked it back on the Juice ;)

Anyway, it was a decent tour! Quite a laugh with EKR123 and the SpVR/SELG lads! :lol:

Just a couple of comments I've seen Fred post;

5872 said:
Why :???:, You then started an arugement which invloved me neally being beaten up, *blames ricky davenport* = VEG!.

5872 said:
Did you see me passing through the buffet coach hundreds of times? :D, Was in a blue hoodey (not a chav one *cough* joea1 *cough*) and jeans, was going from the front to the rear alot

Firstly I was wearing a black jacket and a dark blue T-shirt so I don't think it was me you saw.

Secondly what the hell are you on about me starting arguments? I spoke to one person on the train who's a well known steward and you most definitely were not talked about. So I'll ask again, what the hell are you on about before I take this further?

How on Earth did your camera end up on the tracks?! :shock:

Pulled into Woking on the way home, and my bags were near the door as I was at a certain window. As the steward got off the train, he accidently brushed my camera out with his foot, and went under the train. They had to rescue it with a broom, but luckily it was in its case.

All I heard from some other moany member of train staff was.. 'Should be more careful.' Wasnt even my fault...

Oh well, I dont hold any grudges against Spitfire Tours, as it was a brilliant day.

I just hold grudges against those stupid stoats taking photos of me on the platform after I lost my camera.

:???:

Lucky that then, it's persuaded me to get a camcorder bag for my Sony HC37, as that's nearly happened to me before now.

Probably not a sensible idea to leave it (or any other items) on the floor by an exit door in future....

I would recommend everyone to get camera bags when on railtours. I would hate someone to actually lose their camera.

You shouldn't leave any bags at/near the door for H&S, hopefully that will make you think twice :)

Agreed. The tour has now taken place and the thread isn't serving any useful purpose now.
