LATEST NEWS... Remembering Chris the Sarf [SE13] The District Dave Forum is remembering SE13, our Membership Moderator, who has sadly died at the young age of 45. A thread announcing his passing that also contains tributes to Chris can be found HERE. Chris was also very active in the world of football and was a significant contributor to the Goonersworld website. Tributes to him has also been posted there too. Half of the C Stocks Have Gone As more S7 trains arrive from Bombardier, the tipping point has arrived with just over half of the C69/77/08 units having now been withdrawn. With District Line drivers now being trained on the new S7 units, the start of the D stock withdrawals is likely to commence during 2014. Class 66s Reliveried into LU Celebratory Colours Okay not in the red cab and white and blue skirting, however Tuesday 5 November did witness two GBRf Class 66s named at Victoria with some innovative LU related liveries... lets await the photos !! Aldwych Station opens in November Not permanently, however the LT Museum is opening the station as part of the 150th celebrations, however there will be no train in the platform e innovative LU related liveries... lets await the photos !! Its been a few months since I’ve managed to update the news page, so I thought I’d add this happy story. We all know that “funny cats” is one of the most popular searches on YouTube. How then can we associate a cat story with the Underground. Simple - these BBC and Guardian news item reports of a 4 weeks old lost kitten that was recently handed in to Underground staff at Victoria station having been found in a box on a District Line train. To quote my wife Melanie when I told her about the cat.... “How sweet!” |
