Special orders............dont fall aseep

What a strange day today was. When I left for work in the morning it was freezing and I had to scrape the ice from my car. Yet by the time I got home it was such a beautiful, hot day. Sadly, I had to carry my winter coat round with me all day. Apart from the differences in the weather nothing worth reporting happened today. I did have a special stop order at Wembley Central because of the football, which meant I had to disable the train doors on the back half of the train but fortunately even this passed off without incident. It is funny though that even though you have followed the correct procedure for disabling the rear train doors your heart is in your mouth just in case it doesn't work. I am not sure why we stopped at Wembley because no one got off and no one got on ! But as that was the most that happened during a 9hr 57min shift on hot sunny day I think I did well to stay awake. It is interesting though how much busier Sundays have become. Of course yesterday there was, as mentioned, football at Wembley and a big concert was taking place in Birmingham.

Well. I'm working afternoons this week so we'll see what the next few days bring, hopefully something worth reporting.
