No problems.

If anyone else is at a loose end this evening and wants to join at the last minute, come along. I'll still be at Sloane Square at 1930.

Got home around 6.45pm after a nice wet cycle, it's certainly not a great night for it my route had a couple of outside runs....

Maybe a 378 in the wet might rival the sound of a class 50 'Hoover'! :lol: :P

Class 378s being nicknamed "hoovers"- that goes very well with the Turbostar family (class 170/171/172) of units being collequially known as "Flymos" :P

I was trying to think of the sound a Class 375 makes as I've lost count how many times I've been on them and then compare that with a 378...not that much difference :P

(yes I know they're the same family of train...)

No, they are clearly different, to find something means you have come across something which belongs to someone else...

Sorry folks - I've been quite busy of late.

Due to appalling weather, I managed to miss my train down to London, and arrived at Sloane Square half an hour late. I wasn't expecting anyone to turn up, but thought I would stay around for a while in case anyone was waiting or arrived later than me. No one did, so I thought I might as well go off to my other evening entertainment a lot earlier than planned. Therefore, the challenge did not take place.

Next time, hopefully.

Warning - very bad pun alert.

You might say you didn't have the bottle...

(sorry, that was bad, even for me...)

(I'm so sorry)
