Train Spotters Field Day

[Seven Kings Kid]

This Monday (13th May) should see a hive of activity on the Met & Picc:
As already mentioned in a thread on the C&H section, 4 cars of C stock are going to Northwood for scrap.
Also on Monday, 4 cars of A Stock should be out for a test run on the Met and Sarah Siddons (probably marshalled by Battery loco's) is being moved from Ruislip to Ealing depots.

For me and another chap lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, the 'A' came into the Northbound fast and the C stock pulled up at Moor Park just in time on the Northbound Local, followed by an S on the Southbound local, and held for a photo finish! (various scents of used brake block emitting from the C stock which must have done the full 40mph I might add) Such a one off moment!

The C Stock saw lots of things on its last trip - it passed the Track Recorder at Acton, Sarah Siddons at Sudbury Hill, the '150yrs of progress Love London S stock, as well as the A stock at Moor Park.
A decent final trip for the old girl!
