Today was the one occasion every 13 weeks when I have to show my face at work on a Saturday.
I try to use it by loitering around the DMT's office and engaging in conversation with some of my drivers and also going for a little ride in the cabs with some of my drivers. Today I took along Little Miss Corby as Mrs Corby was working as well.
She tried a little DMT work to start with and was most chuffed that she seemed to be able to wrap some drivers round her little finger with her 8 years (nearly) old charm! But when one asked if he could go home she firmly said no (That's my girl)!!!!!!
We then went for a ride in the front of a train from Golders Green to Kennington via Charing Cross to Edgware via Charing Cross and back to Golders Green. Highlight of the day for her was blowing the train whistle as we came out of Hendon Tunnel and waving at all the drivers going in the opposite direction between Golders and Edgware!!!!
She was also most impressed that we went with a Lady Driver and that she explained everything to her (thanks Maeve!) and now she wants to drive trains when she grows up!!!!!!!!!!!!
She fell fast asleep on the train home and could only conclude when she woke up that it's hard going to work!!
