Peter Lodge returns

[thestig]

Great news that Peter is returning to the Northern Line.

I would say Peters announcement coupled with the warm dusty smell of the tube are the 2 most remembered aspects of the tube from my youth.

There's also some good photos at that link a well, including one that shows the state of one of the cars in the Moorgate crash.

Brilliant...... I remember those announcements well. Looking through the pictures, I rode in the cab of the Vic stock round the Loop with that very same driver.

On the photogallery on the same page as the Mind the gap link, what is wrong in the photo of the train hit by a tree (it may be easier to save the picture and then look at it):

Headlight on with power off (SCD laid)?

Oh if I remember, it was car 115 which is now painted a bit differently to the others.

No!

Am I right in thinking the same problem is evident in the photo of this separate news story?

Need to zoom right in on the standard photo (after saving it) but yes, it would appear to be the same thing

As no one has come up with the answer:
Unless my eyesight is failing, isn't the SCD the wrong way round in both photos?
