Just some updates from the daily (not so) fab fifty six:
Tuesday: The now Northern 4936 seems to be staying loyal to the 56, and I have noticed that older examples such as this have heating radiators... Makes you wonder where the heat for 5201-5210 comes from... Additionally, I think it has had more than a repaint... In comparison to the others, it is very comfy.
Wednesday: 4942 decided it wanted operate the 07:06 service instead of the 06:57, refusing to start after multiple attempts by the driver from his cab as well as from the engine... The engineer who stays at Park Lane until 07:00 didn't bother to take a look, getting in the minibus back to the depot. One of the drivers came over and started to natter. When 4936 arrived to operate the 07:06, 4942 finally started up and we were off... Running in twos all the way to, at least, Cardinal Hume School.
Thursday: 5208 impacted 'a plastic thing' which partially took the panel closest to behind the front left wheel off... It was sticking out in a position that would have endangered anybody queuing at the stop so I rang the bell and upon stopping told the driver who quickly gave up on trying to fix it when he saw how bent it was and deposited it in the left had luggage rack (photo to follow). I was unable to take a photo of the exterior as he pulled away too quickly from where I got off.
