L44 looks really good in that Green Livery.
Great video! I wish they'd do an event like this again!
Keep a lookout...a steam train event between Ealing Broadway and High Street Kensington is likely before the District Line becomes upgraded for automated trains. If it does happen it is likely late 2018 / early 2019.

No, nothing like that. At 17 I was taken out of the sixth form because my father wanted me working where he was. It was a job I'd been doing for quite a few years in the school holidays. Nothing to do with transport. Although this sounds rough the reality is that I did not have a burning desire for any specific trade, and since what my father was doing had given him a good life so he thought that it would be ideal for me too. Its what most fathers would do, if they could.
