Monday 23rd - Thankfully Cooler

 We do complain, don't we? It's too hot, too cold! Inside the carriages when it is 30°C and standing still is not comfy, and if it is platform 2 and the sun shining even worse. But today the high temperatures have gone for now and, as Goldilocks would say, it was just right!

So it was Paul, David, Peter and Tim washing rake 1. It was on platform 2 so that the Cotswold side could be washed and carriage "A" was on the platform instead of under the bridge so that got a wash. I missed taking a photo of it part done, but it sure was dirty. By the time they finished even Paul was pleased how it had come up!

Inside I captured Kath (in the distance!)

and Jane and Nick

The rest of the team today was (new man) Chris, Greg, Jane, John S and Nigel.

My duties today were toilets and spot mopping of rake 1.

Then the hose sprang a leak

Fortunately there was a spare connector in our store so Paul was soon able to cut the hose and fit the connector.
