Monday 13th - 7 For Just The DMU!

 I don't remember a week like this before. For the first time the start-up timetable is 1 steam and 1 DMU. It always was 2 steam. So only 1 rake is in use plus the DMU. This being the week when the contract cleaners are in preparing for the race trains we usually have a week off. But not this year - there is the DMU to clean! So we were able to give it our full attention with the added bonus of a longer than usual tea break afterwards.

So here we have Greg

Tim (and Nigel in the distance)

Kath

John

Paul (the DMU got mopped throughout)

There are 2 more weeks of rake 1 plus DMU then back to 2 rakes. But there are 3 Bank Holiday Mondays in May when we won't be cleaning (and Easter Monday in April, of course) as the trains are in use on those days.
