suzyscottdotcomYesterday was spent traveling a little short of twenty miles (per trip) from Royston to Milton via Cambridge, for the first full day back on the Helpline. I had stopped by last week on the way to another Ormiston project at Highpoint, but this was the first real half-day, on the phones.
A little over four hours later, it was all over, and I was feeling like I'd never been away. After stopping briefly in Ely, I returned back to Cambridge, and onto Royston on the last 26 of the night. Caroline met me at the end of the road at about 1930, and we went to the chip shop, for the first time in a while.
Today, just a quiet day in, but I am out again tomorrow at work (covering an unexpected gap in the rota for a few hours).
Other stuff...
My sister was on the phone earlier... "is it the 1A or the 1B that goes to Faraday Street...?" (well that was a surprise, or was it?) Anyway, she's updated me on her recent developments, and her new job[s] and stuff, and asked if I'd had something from her yet. No.... not yet.
Oh, and I got a freebie £4 voucher from TfL following the problems on the Jub and Central Lines during the Sunday of our weekend to London. Speaking of them, the Emma Clarke thing has gone international... and a voice artist in SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA has done some spoofs for their transport system. Straight and to the point, generally. Speaking of which, an extract from a quote from a media person...
' ...“What perhaps they should have done is contact Emma (they’ve still not done that, amazingly, preferring to talk through the media it seems) and say: “quite like some of these, don’t like these two, any chance you can take them down and swap them for something a bit less ‘out there’?” – and, if they were brave enough, commission a few spoof ones to be played at Christmas (“if anyone sees a reindeer on the track, please inform a member of staff immediately”) and on other holidays..."
REINDEER? LMAO... I remember having to do a PA over a train being held in the tunnel with no lights, because of a coat hanger on the track... which we had to get a station supervisor to remove, hence the delay.
Also, looks as if Richmond's Service 23 (see this post) at least is to stay on a more restricted basis, but with some bits added to replace the 22. The updated list of changes and cuts, as well as full details of Christmas & New Year services across Hertfordshire, can be found in Intachange 49, of which paper copies should be ready soon.
