That is incredible, would love to be able to get the chance of riding inside the TPO train during a gala to see what went on behind the scenes.

Cheers mate, looks like you have a good channel there. I have subbed!

Nice video, Louis!

[@MrDobilina]

Hey lovely video! When you say 11.15 for the n2 1744 what do you mean? The video is 8.12 long!

Remember seeing your tea pot on the table in the Mount. Also heard on a Sunday you had a "Half-way Redhill"

[@falcons1988]

How did the post office workers know when to deploy the net? Where the pick-up/drop-off points strategically placed?

[@DrChooChoo109]

There is a lineside marker that we look out for :)

[@kishascape]
