Monday 13th - Cardboard Coffins

 The usual 8 for Carriage Cleaning today, in a balmy 12°C.

Now that the DMU is also in use for Santa Trains it was time to take the cross country walk to the end of the sidings to find the train. And a good job we did!  First up is Kath with the Gtech on the First Class carpet - in dire need it was. She then moved on to windows.

Next up is John brushing seats before he also moved on to windows at this end of the train. Yours truly with the Ghostbuster reaching the parts other cleaners can't reach. But good to see it has had lots of customers. All clean now for the next set of visitors.

While we were down the DMU Paul, Phil and Roger O were washing the Cotswold side of rake 2 (maroon set).

After that it was back to the station to find some of the others already at Tea Break. L to R Roger O, Paul, Phil, John (he was speedy back!)

And today's topic was - Cardboard Coffins! (How do we get on to these subjects?!) Apparently you can now get a cardboard coffin and have a photo printed on the side. Your favourite loco taking you on your final journey.....?

Whist we were discussing this important topic Greg was still hard at work

And out of site Nigel P was also working.

After tea break we all helped finish off inside rake 2. 

Just one more session for us next Monday until the trains start running again in March. Will we have some new starters then to boost our numbers, that would be nice!
